Well the ban of White Magic and Black magic was not ther Red Mage order action but the Nation's of Eorzea made that choice themselves after seeing what the Amdapor and Mhach civilization did.

I don't think they even know there are other survivors of Mhach and Amdapor considering the lore so far always seem to imply that all Black Mages of Mhach were assumed wiped out and only a small group of the Padjal were survivors of Amdapor.
