And it shows they would have killed him because it was their job, not because they go out of their way to kill random survivors that just happen in be in the area.

You're taking a step in the wrong direction. Always exercise your critical thinking skills and look at the
why not just the
what.
Fate was going around shooting kittens and beating up Nanoha. The Wolkenritter were going around attacking mages and stealing their magic. If you just looked at the 'what' obviously they appear as horrible people. But when you factor in the why you can see that there's much more to it than that.
Never disregard the why.
Why do the Huckebien kill? Because they have to in order to live. It's not due to some ingrained evil, but an external factor compelling them to do so.
You expect Thoma to go "They kill so they're irredeemable evil trash" but he knows better than anyone that it's the virus's fault. So why wouldn't he want to try to convince others like him that there has to be another way, and that they should look for that way?
We know Thoma has enough power to make the others pay attention to him.
