Corrected entry: Why do Picard and crew need to bother having the Baku walk all the way to the caves when the Enterprise could have easily beamed all of them to the caves in just a matter of minutes? Also if Picard and Data had already found the holoship and had complete control over it then why not just go ahead and use it for its intended purpose, transport the people to a safe location until the matter with So'na is over? At the very least the Baku would be safely out of the way and there would be no need to get to the caves.

Corrected entry: Picard has never had any relations with the So'na or its technology, yet he has no problem activating the self destruct sequence on the collector. The self-destruct would be the most well protected and difficult to access function on ANY vessel. Maybe with tools and a tricorder and some time, but Picard does it in about 4 minutes with his bare hands.
Correction: Gallatin has switched sides to save the Ba'ku. As Ru'afo's second in command, he would surely be able to brief Picard on how to activate the self-destruct.

Correction: Picard can't use the Enterprise's transporters because he isn't doing this under the auspices of a Starfleet captain. He is doing it as a private citizen, which is why he removed his uniform and pips. They didn't use the holoship because they didn't want to take the Ba'ku off the planet - that would haven't given Ru'Afo license to deploy the collector.
