You don't have to be a moral "absolutist" to think that murdering entire planets is wrong. What utter nonsense.

Flew over your head, did it?

You... kinda just proved my point. It's all a matter of perspective, and you only consider ours. You state as fact that his act is outright evil, no matter the perspective or situation. Well, to him, its not. To him its like crushing a few ant hives. And he's not even doing it out of self interest, but the continued survival of his race.

AND if one of those ants proves worthy / living / sentient enough, he even gives them a chance to join him, or defy their plan.

Naturally to the ant, it's all horribly wrong (or evil if you prefer more black and white terms), and it should by all means do everything in its power to thwart their extinction.
