Why? Because God is modeled after the kings of that age. God as king of all had all the rights because that was just the way it was. In a democracy, nobody would think up a lone god who had all the power because that's not the political model in play. Ultimately, God is just a political figure, having certain rights and privileges. It's like the legal fiction of the corporation. We don't give God rights because he is a person. He's an abstract, and the foundation of his rights is equally abstract. He can kill. Why? Because he's the creator. Creator is a role, it says what he does, not what he is. God is good. According to an independent standard? No, again it's a role. It explains what he does rather than what he is.
God is nothing more than the ultimate king figure. He owns all the land and makes all the rules. Not because of what he is, that's just his role.
