The Dungeon Guardian (the instakill one) isn't meant to be fought, but CAN be slain under proper preparation.
Skeletron himself isn't meant to be challenged unless you have higher tier armor than just the basic ores, and while it is easy to get slain, try to keep away from his head as it does the most damage to you. Ranged and magic is honestly the better option here, but I've heard from others that yoyos can decimate him pretty fast.
No shame in terraforming the planet for a fight, so if you have the option, flatten as much of the area in front of the dungeon entrance as you can.
I mean, I don't expect you to try to beat him again, but I guess I want my 1000+ hours in Terraria to count for something, so if my advice helps, then that's stellar.
If you beat him, he actually drops a thing that summons a mini dungeon-guardian pet. I nearly did it once, it's honestly not that hard (unless they changed it).
