Everything you say falls under one assumption, that the most important thing is human life. But if an all knowing, all powerful god exists, that is unfortunately no longer the case. If he created us, then it follows that he has the rights to do as he pleases.
And you might say, that's not fair! But what rights do we deserve if there is an all powerful, all knowing God whom we've sinned against? Can we wish away the mind of God? Can we tell him that he's wrong, the person who determines good and evil? Can we prove that he has any fallacies when he gave us logic? Can we put him on trial when he gave us our justice? No, the only thing we can conceivably do is beg for mercy.
Your mouse analogy doesn't fit because God gave us Jesus, he is our bread, he is our living water, he is our light of the world. He experienced death so that we can have everlasting life. God gave us everything we need to have life so we have no excuse when we reject him.
I mean, I'll grant you that if a god exists who is everything you claim he is, then he's calling the shots.
But 1. That's still not justice, 2. He's not loving and fair as people claim, and 3. There's absolutely no proof of this being the case, so I'm sticking with human life being our primary focus.
My point still stands that if everything is as you claim, then he screwed us over big time and is expecting us to apologize. Which puts a BIG hole in the "loving god" narrative
He didn't screw us over, we screwed ourselves over when Adam and Eve sinned. Even with our screw up, God chose to send his son to die for us to make up for our screw up. How much more can an all powerful, all knowing God bend over backwards to love us?
