Becaue like their brothers the jews, they are the spawn of the wicked Canaanite race the original Hebrews were ordered to exterminate by God. You can tell because they have negroid facial features and hair despite having fairer skin.
Because God prefers to work through intermediaries, and He actually did get the process started though a few plagues and wild animal attacks that weakened the Canaanite civilization. He wanted the Israelites to learn the necessity of *fighting* evil and putting it down, but instead their misplaced compassion (and greed) led to them dropping the ball.
This whole story was written by the Israelites. Therefore it's entirely possible that the Caanites were good and the Israelites were evil, and they just lied about it in their book.
Why couldn't God do it himself, if he's so powerful?
