If the children were just going to die and have no bearing on the story at all, there wouldn't have been any point in showing us that the had magical powers.

Ozpin had sufficent motivation to bestow his powers onto the maidens whether they reminded him of his children or not.

My best guess is that they survived and weren't the first maidens, but the first huntsmen; thier magical blood merged with that of the new antediluvian populace giving rise to semblances. But far from simple diluting the original magic, it developed it into something new that even the gods couldn't have conceived. And where the meeting of the magical and the mundane blood was at it's stongest confluence, the silver eyed warriors came into being.

This would also explain why Ozpin felt the responsibility to become a headmaster and not just a king since in some sense, every huntsman is a descendant of his and Salem's.
