Yes it does condemn it in the Bible there aren't Christians or Jews who do everything God is said to have instructed them to do, which is a good thing.
No it's not cherry picking it's called historical context. If our morality and values have improved over the centuries, and they certainly have overall, then we have achieved this through our relationship with God the source of all things who loves all people equally.
So what you're saying is that your deity, who as the story goes had no problem killing nearly every living thing on the planet for failing to meet his expectations, allowed man to set his own standard of morality commensurate with contemporary values?
Seriously?
