Fredo unwillingly helped set up an attempted hit on Michael that could have killed his wife or kids because they shot randomly into his bedroom window.
Then when confronted about it; he lamented being passed over to be a Don himself. This means he could never be trusted to not do it again due to him being bitter.

Isn't killing him for not knowingly being involved in the assassination attempt a bit harsh.

That was the point: Michael Corleone was a harsh unforgiving Don.

He claimed he didn't know, but how can Michael trust anything he says? Especially after Fredo revealed all his resentment.
Fredo would remain a liability in exile. I think Michael also viewed him as a mortal enemy, at that point.

The Godfather was never intended to be a 'everyone lives happily ever after' movie.

No, but it would've made for a great comedy spin-off. We could've had
Fredo
…
Fredo 2: Idiot In Exile
