Why did he allow them to multiply again? It was a fresh start. He could've just kept everything "perfect", and then all suffering would have ended. Now it's even worse than it was in Noahs time.

People often ask, "Why does God allow evil in the world?" or "Why doesn't God stop evil people from doing evil things?" This question is as old as humankind. In order to answer this question, the ancients who did not know science or anything about dinosaurs or that the earth was round, etc., came up with a "What if Story." There are many "What if stories" in the bible. These stories are called myths and are there to give simple answers to complex questions. The story of the flood is one of these examples. It cover the question: "What doesn't God just destroy all the evil people and start over?" In this story, all the evil people are destroyed. Human kind gets a fresh start and STILL evil people are there. Why? Because even if God were to destroy all of the evil people in the world, those who survived would still have FREE WILL. Having FREE WILL means we choose for ourselves only or for ourselves and others.
God wants us to have free will. This way it is our choice to either accept God and others or not.

You make an interesting point, but to be perfect he would have to remove freewill, make man different, or not make man at all. It was not his desire to do those, but rather keep a remnant of believers and see his original creation through to the end.
How about we believe and follow God's will and quit being evil? Why do we blame God when we are the ones that turn to wickedness? God spares us, shows us his goodness and mercy, but rather than turn to the light we turn our backs instead.
I know we live in a bad time, but I am not sure it is as Noah's time. We do have it bad, but I think their time the evil was done in broad daylight. Most of our evil is still done in under the cover of darkness. But, your comparison is well taken.

Maybe becoz the next time He destroys Humanity, He'll take the Good Ones with Him instead of taking the Bad Ones in order for the Good ones to continue Living on this cruel Earth!

Because history repeated again and again.
when the living entity is bewildered in his desires, the Lord allows him to fulfill those desires, but the Lord is never responsible for the actions and reactions of the particular situation which may be desired. At the end will be destroyed and a new era will come.

God did not call those people evil first of all. Their deeds was evil, the people are still loved by God that's why they were allowed to multiply again and replenish the earth.
Is it worse today? I don't see a difference, generation to generation is fit for it's generation. The Bible story doesn't change as God will never change according to the Bible.

Noah was not perfect, and his sons were not either. Infact, one of his sons was perverted as shown in the bible. So it really wasn't a fresh start, it was just that the world that Noah lived in was similar to ours now. (Lacking in tech. though) You would be surprised that in Noah's times, there may have been a lot more violence and evil than one would think.
Man of questions, there are more chances 2 of everything have offspring and don't die before that moment, than a reproducing molecule survives and has offspring.

God's Great Flood should have prevented the future actions of Hitler, Stalin, and Manson - just to name a few.
Wasn't the Flood supposed to destroy all of the evil of humanity for all time? Or was it for the immediate, short-term?
Faith.... sweet, enduring faith....

Satan still has dominion, temporarily.
Luke chapter 4 (NKJV)
5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

In the 1960s there was a "god is dead" movement. They believed that there WAS a god who did all of those things, but that it all stopped because god had died. It was an interesting concept. It woud be an interesting solution to your question.
