"You have to destroy before you can create." The black goo might have been for the purpose of producing an evolutionary kick start. Just as it was in the beginning of the movie. Recall all of the other Engineers had died 2,000 years ago in the accident with the black goo, so the lone surviving Engineer - who had been asleep the entire 2,000 years - would have no way to know the people he met when rudely awakened were even humans. It's also not quite clear in the movie where Engineers fit into the grand scheme of things - are they simply technical weenies doing the grunt work for their superiors? Are they the super race? It's not exactly clear. At the end of the movie I gathered that Shaw and David were off to see the wizard, as it were, to get to the bottom of who made whom.
