I really think the Doctor took Leela's (and K9 m1's) departure in stride.
After all, he immediately put himself to work on K9 mk2.

I'd say he was the most upset after departing from Romana. It was this
departure that set the tone for "Logopolis".

To be fair, I have not yet seen the Jo Grant departure (ask me in a few
weeks). I don't think, however, that we should forget Nyssa's departure and
Adric's final sacrifice (from the Davison era).
