No he was not.
GOD specifically tasked him with placing the animals in the ark "to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." - Genesis 7:1-5
Kind of a pointless thing for God to ask of Noah, don’t you think?

From a strictly human perspective it does seem that way, but GOD has historically commanded those whom He has mercifully justified by faith (Abraham, David, etc to this very day) to do things that didn't / don't make sense to us. Yet in faith, they obeyed and passed those tests. To quote, GOD declares "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."
So, He says repeatedly to us all - trust and obey (like a child would inexplicably trust his/her parent) - and you will never fail. (Psalm 37:5, Isaiah 26:3, Proverbs 3:6, etc), and also, "without faith it is impossible to please Him" - Hebrews 11:6
