These regrets are things that they truly wish they had done while alive, but cannot because they are dead. This is the reason that Aria is still existing in spirit form - both a sense of justice (pun intended) for her death, and a longing desire to see the Black Mage defeated. However, she can most LIKELY pass on because Phantom made an oath to her that he would avenge her death.
However, Lotus cannot truly die for the reason that Orchid is at half power (speculative theory, but more than likely accurate). My theory here is that Orchid and Lotus were at one point one person, and in order to gain the Black Mage's gift of power and immortality, they had to split into two beings, which splits their soul in two as well - a fragmented soul can seem painful and horrifying to many, but Orchid/Lotus didn't mind.
In order to kill both of them, their soul has to be whole. Either that, or we use the Twin Card phenomena here (Cardcaptor reference), in that you have to kill them BOTH at the exact same time. While Phantom more than likely was able to kill Lotus, he forgot to kill Orchid at the same time as well; thus, she lives because of that, and Lotus merely gets stuck in limbo (which for her, I imagine, would be rather irritating and annoying). That, coupled with the fact that Lotus is ALREADY hard enough to kill as it is (she and Orchid didn't get to be Wing Masters for nothing, y'know) makes it well known that no mere Mapler can accomplish this.
Even IF Phantom were to destroy her body, she could just merge with Orchid's soul, in which case, the true form of Orchid/Lotus appears. This makes her kill-able in the sense that now the two souls are either whole or exist in the same vessel, meaning that you can THEN proceed to kill them both at the same time. This might be what Phantom is planning to do regarding how to kill them.
That's for clearing it up. I guess we'll eventually see this transformed form of Orchid/Lotus one day. And, as you smartly pointed out, the fight will be no joke.
