As I said earlier, if we can imagine this were your offspring, and this were way back then, I actually think it would be best for the world if we killed off as much of your seed as possible so that it didn't spread and ultimately infect the world and destroy everything. In this sense you could say Moses is doing the world a favor. So yes, I actually am fine with this sort of thing.
I don't think it lives up to the universal ideal, but again this is not God speaking, this is Moses, so keep trying.
There are a lot of such instructions that come straight from "God" in the bible.

Are you saying you're better than "God"? A low bar, but better than nothing I guess.
