How do you know? Have you talked to these children? Wouldn't it have been better to have let the children live, to be raised by the "good" Israelite people so that they could live long lives as "decent" people and earn their places by the side of the great evil . . . I mean your deity?
I know because the scripture say they will be there, simple really.
If those children had be left with the Israelites they would married and had other Amalekites, thus keeping that particular people continuing. Also, God did not want the Israelites to marry outside themselves, He told them this when they were wandering in the wilderness.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
