Well, if Thanos had enough power to remove that much life, it stands to reason he could have used his power to create sufficient resources for everyone, and not have had to kill anyone at all. If that was his intention, he could have enlisted the Avengers et al to help him recover the stones. This could have made for just as much action as the film they did make, and would have made a lot more sense.
And, since Thanos opts to kill trillions instead of creating more resources for them, he's clearly a bad guy.
(The comics have an answer for this, but we're talking strictly about the film)

How is he going to make more resources? The infinity stones have limits, and even said to have conscience. Like the curse it gave the watcher of the soul stone or the warnings that were given to Vision. Even the reality stone had its limits. The real world was hidden behind the illusion. The stones each require mastery, which is indicated throughout the series, included the other Marvel movies. Thanos got them, but he never mastered them, nor cared to. All for the wrong reason, which he perceived to be right.
The Power stone in conjunction with the other five bestows omnipotence, that's canon.
But seriously, Thanos can wipe out half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. If he can't channel that same power into increasing resources to a sustainable level, the film should have explained why. It did, hence 'plot hole'.
Lastly, please consider the comment 'the infinity stones have limits'.
