The goal is not to rid the earth of Canaanites but to claim that particular land for the Israelites.

But Craig makes the case that, regardless of God's command, it was OK to kill them all because the children would be in a better place.

It would have been OK if instead Dawkins had called Craig "a deplorable apologist for the mass extermination of a people so we can take their land"?

God gave the land to the Israelites. Dawkins calls this immoral but he has no rational basis for doing so. God created the land, He created all human beings, He decides when each of us will die. Dawkins implies that God didn’t give someone something they were owed but Dawkins does not explain why God owes anyone anything.
