So an omnipotent deity who created the universe would be just like a human with supernatural powers? I find this an interesting idea seeing as humans have always had a tendency to imagine deities as being just like humans with supernatural powers.
Why should it regard humans as being more special than dinosaurs or any other species which has become extinct?

First find where this hypothetical God is located and then get to to him/her/it.
PS: Everything points to this hypothetical God starting things off with the big bang. What if it had been sentimental about dinosaurs and saved them from being wiped out? Or, to bring things near to our time, what if it had been sentimental about Neanderthals and prevented them from becoming extinct.? Maybe true omnipotence is having the sense to leave evolution to get on with it.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
