It's simple logic: just as good humans, good gods don't do evil. Bad gods do evil, incompetent gods do evil, gods with limited powers do evil.
And this is why you are in an abusive relationship with God.

Because I don't ignore suffering of other people like you do so I can see it would have been better if all those millions of people didn't suffer and/ or died.

I am not an omnipotent God (nobody is, but hey) who can even stop wars and holocausts and create perfect things and beings. So God could have stopped the ww2, or killed Hitler or just make better people.

And that's why God is not good (doesn't exist) because he could have created a world without all that suffering. Unless he is not omnipotent or is evil or just doesn't exist.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
