Therein lies the whole problem with your thinking. It isn't up to you in that situation. Everything you do can impact on others. There are several hundered people trying to leave the aircraft all at once and under duress.

Follow the orders and get out. Anything else, including your replaceable bag, is superfluous. Morals and divinity are irrelvant, and if during an evacuation you are thinking about either you are not properly focusing on what should be your only priority.
