God doesn't succumb to our temptations. In reality God kills us all. We all die; and that's according to his will. Dying in itself isn't evil, but it does come as a result of our sins. It is evil, though, for us to disobey God's will and to commit murder. Of course, if we truly loved our neighbors as Jesus told us to do, we wouldn't commit murder.
”Numbers 31:14-18” Moses was angry at the Generals and Captains of the army and asked: Why have you kept all these women alive? Now, kill every male-child as well as every woman who has had sex with a man. But, the young girls who have not had sex with a man, you may keep alive for yourselves.

If it's evil to disobey god, then I'll just have to be evil.
They were totally evil people who received judgement for their crimes, but they were to be redeemed eventually by Christ for eternity. They were removed because they were actively trying to prevent the coming of that savior. Also, I believe that their deaths were much easier than a huge percentage of christian followers' deaths right now.
