If God is omnipotent (a Christian assumption), why did He create man knowing He would kill everybody except Noah and his family? Were Adam & Eve also killed during this time?

Yes, if you believe in the literal truth of the Bible, then you must accept that God created man specifically so that many of us would be sent to Hell.
There is no "free will" argument. God knew at the dawn of creation that one day I would be born, that I would review the information available, and decide to be an atheist. By still allowing me to be born, knowing in advance that I would "reject" him, God deliberately created me just to be doomed to suffer in hellfire for eternity.
Or maybe its a huge crock of sh!t.

Religion as a whole is responsible for many people killing other people. 9/11, the Holocaust (6 million), Iran/Iraq, Palestine/Israel, the list goes on and on. Religion downright scares me and is one of the most evil forces known to man made by man.

According to the Bible God gave Noah the chance to find some good men, and he couldn't. God destroyed the "man he made" and who didn't follow God's laws.

God does not kill us. You are reading in the old Testament before Christ died on the cross to cover our sins.

In the context of the rest of the bible God had a better plan in mind beginning at Genesis 3:15.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
That is the 1st coded prophesy of a messiah to come !!!

First thing Noah did when he landed on dry land was to get drunk. Oops.
