Cutting a babies head off is bad because of what it entails, and you have evolved as a member of the human species to see it as such.
It's not a problem at all for non-theistic naturalism. The problem is that you're not satisfied with any naturalistic explanation, but this is a psychological problem on your part, not a logical one.
I have evolved as a member of the human species to see. To recognize that that certain things outside of my mind are real, like the sun, the room I'm in.
I can recognize the natural facts of a babies head getting cut off, all the parts that went into the actions, the various brain states etc.. I can also recognize an objective badness, that is neither a part of my brain state, nor in any of the scientific facts surrounding this.
We have evolved to recognize an objective non-natural/immaterial/transcedent moral reality not reducible to scientific facts, or brain states.
