It's irrelevant, because the biblical account of it has a message and that message says that God repented (KJV), or was "sorry" (NAS, NKJV), was "grieved" (NIV), that God "took it to heart" (LXX), that He had made people who "turned out" wicked! Surprise, surprise! According to you, they didn't turn out wicked by themselves, by rejecting God, but because God ordained it so!
If you believe that, then why was He angry with wicked men -- they turned out exactly as He ordianed them to be! Where is their fault? They are just passive "tools" and fools in your vision of God's creation.
[In addition to wicked men, Genesis 6:6 states that God decided to destroy all innocent animal life as well. I wouldn't call that kind.]
I believe this rather than believe that it was man who chose to kill God against His will
Man didn't "choose" to kill God. Christ's sacrifice was voluntary and out of love for the wicked mankind. Christ came to redeem what we spoiled, to heal what we wounded, to rebuild what we destroyed, to save what was lost through our rejection of God.
If it is none of our doing, if it it is not because of our digression against God's will, than Christ's sacrifice is not done for our fall but for His own sake and glory.
All people turn out just as God has made them unless you don't believe that God has made us so. This is the path to Open Theism-the belief that God doesn't know the choices of men.
If it is none of our doing, if it it is not because of our digression against God's will, than Christ's sacrifice is not done for our fall but for His own sake and glory.
Man was certainly culpable but it was preordained by God the Father.
In your belief, when God sins like this, to whom does He confess? :)

They weren't just passive tools, they were very active tools, and responsible for their own sins. If we remain in the state of our birth, then we will be wicked. God has every right to be angry, because He is not the author of sin. Men (and satan) are.

Perhaps you would like an apology? :) Besides, cats always have it coming to them anyway.
