We are talking about murder being bad for the well being of humans, I assume we can agree that murder is detrimental to the well being of the human race.

Again, I'd say it depends. Killing off all the Indians certainly wasn't detrimental to the settlers.
So you think that groups of people murdering each other and taking each others stuff maximizes well being? By the way Killing Indians and taking their land only led to war and more killing, it did not maximize well being for either side, eventually it had to be handled through treaty.
