I think this is an act of mercy to save one righteous family when humanity at that time will destroy themselves, including the righteous Noah’s family. It is like modern day surgery where the cancerous organ or lump is removed to save the body. Or , it is like removing the abusive parents to save the children.

That even though he created humanity, since they were so wicked, he still destroyed them with a flood. Even now we have the rainbow as a reminder of God’s promise to never flood the Earth again, even if it gets as wicked as it was in Genesis. But that doesn’t mean that He won’t use something else to destroy the Earth.

God is a God of love and redemption. His intention was to save humanity from the evil and destructive violence that was prevalent throughout. Instead of allowing the violence to go on in the world, He reset for a new humanity to come from the one righteous man he could find.

God saved the righteous from the evil. He protected Noah and preserved his family.
