Why did Yoda not just go with Luke Skywalker in order to attack Darth Vader?

From a purely speculative standpopint; it would seem to have been a mistake for both of them to go off half-cocked an try to defeat Vader. Had they been successful in such an endeavour the Emperor would still have been free to train another apprentice to become a Sith Lord. Had they not been successful, Vader and the Emperor would have been left to rule the Galaxy uncontested. When Luke leaves to help Han, Leia & Chewie in The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda responds to Obi Wan's assertion "that boy is our last hope" with " no there is another" which later we realize is Leia. It would have been tough to realize without some of the revalations that came out with the release of the prequels, but it would seem that both the Emperor and Yoda were using the Skywalkers as chess pieces for many years. The strength of youth in Anakin that was so coveted by the Emperor in the Revenge of the Sith was now in the hands of Yoda ... and he had two tries to use it with Luke & Leia.

Also,I think that it would have been difficult to produce a fight involving the puppet that was Yoda in that movie.
