Good question! God had no problem killing people during the flood. But the story would have ended there and the Hebrew people needed more than this to get control

because God always loves his creations even if they sin a lot plus adam and eve does exist i have a scintific explanation for this some people say that a day with God is a 1000yrs. or a million and humanity the first man and woman to ever walk hairless is what we call the adam and eve the beasts of the earth where the dinosaurs God is a forgiving one but in this case it is the first sin to be commited and maybe became so over excited in using His mighty powers and punished them and he didn't want to start over try building the eiffel tower yourself destroy it and do it all over again that is how He worked hard to create us creatures called Human beings

While it would have proven that God was more powerful, it would not have shown respect for the free will that he gave them and would not have answered the question once and for always, "Does God, as our creator, have the absolute right to rule over us and the best and highest knowledge to know what makes us happy?" Satan had smeared God's reputation by representing Him as withholding good things from His creation. God is perfectly just and this is the way he chose to settle the matter.

Perhaps because his plan is bigger than your imagination (and mine)!
Perhaps He didn't kill them because they did exactly what he knew they would do...exactly what he knew was necessary to shape his creation into what he wanted it to become! To us, this whole process may seem slow and imperfect but in the grand scope of eternity, the whole human existence is but a the blink of an eye. I believe he had something in mind when he created us...something beyond Adam and Eve...something that required us to grow beyond our programming. Whatever it is, it seems pretty clear that God intends us to learn it by spending some time in the classroom he created for us!

It's kind of hard to kill an allegory.
Adam and Eve are emblematic of the human race as a whole. The entire drama is played out in the life of every single human being on earth.

That would be so easy, but all these million of innocent offsprings would not be here to be saved into all they were meant to have before their parents sinned, so we all have new parents Gal.4:26; Rev.3:12; The new heavenly Jerusalem has adopted us into salvation. We are born dying. 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; and there is one that caused it. John 8:44; Heb.2:9,14,16; and there is one that can end death and the one who caused it.

I would guess that even with Adam 2.0 and Eve 2.0, the same outcome would have eventually resulted.

Because of his command to Adam & Eve “be fruitful and become many and fill the earth” (Ge 1:28)
There it is.

Because he wasn't the one angry - we were. He didn't say - OMG you're naked - they did.
The fall in the Garden is when A&E saw that God created both Good and Evil they were not happy about it and wanted to control it. God chose and chooses not to (isn't that what you see happening?).
God is not mad - we are.

The serpent would've gotten to his new people, too. Besides, he loved them. You dont kill your kids and get new ones when they come out less than perfect.
