The point of the girls was to show how far Salem had fallen that she was willing to use their daughters to completely restart the human race again, basically killing everyone who didn't have magic, and set herself and Ozpin up as the Gods who bestowed magic to the people.

And...that's strechy reasoning. "They're little girls, but because they have magic and their parents have magic they get stronger from the explosion!" Having magic didn't help anyone else in the world who died. Salem and Ozpin are only special cases because the Gods specifically made them special. The girls don't have that going for them. The Gods probably didn't even know they existed, or particularly cared.
