If BENI HA ELOHIM doesn't refer to angelic beings, then who would you hold it to represent?

Those who properly worshiped the only Holy God. The monothesistic peoples of the time before the flood, decendants of Seth. "sons of God" denotes the believers of God, even NT writers use this phrase to refer to believers (Phil 2:15; 1 John 3:1 are two I found quickly).

The "Sons of God" who came in unto the daughters of men, taking advantage of them because they were fair to look upon...hardly seem angelic, or even good HUMANS, for that matter.

Clearly, the human "daughters of earthlings" [batot h'adam] are being contrasted with some other race that is not of earthly origin, who are Nephilim ["those who descended, those who came down"] which the Bible sometimes translates as "giants."
