That's still a society, of a sort.

Nope, it's a family unit.

By raping the baby, he is likely to create feelings of hatred in his wife.

He doesn't care, his prime directive is not his wifes feelings.

Plus he's hurting the baby.

Again, he doesn't care, he can have more babies.

Both of these things are counter-productive for the continued survival of him and his society.

How so? His prime directive has nothing to do with society and he can go find another wife and make more babies.

So, in that society, his actions are harmful and, therefore, wrong.

So you say but he syas, balogna, his prime directive is not society or family it is his own survival and self aggrandizement. Now why is it morally wrong for him to rape babies?

Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid).
