Anyone who tries to kill tons of people is not the good guy and her reasons are not justified no matter what those are. At least, that's what Team RWBY & JNPR would think since those are their ideals. Yeah...it's kinda sad. Kids don't know that the end can justify the means, and because this show is for all ages we know the protagonists (or at least Ruby and maybe Jaune) will disagree out of sheer idealism that can border on idiotism.

Of course, we still would need to know what Cinder's end actually is to see if they would have a reason to be mad. It certainly would be interesting to see. In a setting like Remnant, where humanity is in constant war with the Grimm, what would Cinder gain from erasing tons of innocent lives? The only two things that I can think of is that either she wants to get revenge on someone (most likely Ozpin which would totally ruin her character and purpose more than it has already been done) or she wants to send a message so that humanity decides to stand up and finally erase the remaining Grimm.

Apart from that, I can't think of a very good reason that would motive Cinder to lead humanity closer to extinction.
