I'm pretty sure there's no way to argue that their deaths at least, are clear cut murder. Or would be if any of the bible actually happened.
Yahweh punishes the innocent along with the guilty.
Why did Yahweh not, for instance, make personal appearances to these peoples to get them to change their ways? They'd never seen nor heard from him, so why would they follow his rules, which they may not even know about?

Is death a punishment when you are talking about an immortal soul? In fact, it was a gift that God gave the innocent that they did not grow up and become like their parents and risk the permanent separation from God. God always has the eternal perspective in mind.
How do you know they did not know of him? Noah certainly did.
