It's not like God created all the elements separately, created in the sense that they can exist (even if no concrete realization of a particular one is present at a given moment). God didn't have to say "oh, and let's also have francium". He created a simple system of building blocks with simple rules baswd on which stars can work to produce heavier elements to form the basis of life, and all the other possibilities are byproducts of this simple foundation. Many radioactive elements play an intermediary role there, others are simply further possibilities of the same simple rules.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
