It's a feature of Cid's existence that there are a lot of people killed and maimed around him as he does his chuuni thing, good people as well as the cardboard mooks of the Evil Organisation. Even before Cid entered the academy he'd find and murder bandit gangs AFTER they had robbed and killed merchants, not stopping the gangs from committing the robberies as they happened as the heroes of most isekai stories do. He's also good with taking the stuff the bandits stole, he doesn't try to return it to the rightful owners.
I suspect the "everyone nice[1] was evacuated already" lines were inserted in the anime to gloss over the slaughter he actually committed when he went Kamehameha on the centre of the city, never mind the property destruction, homelessness etc. he caused.

Chuunis do chuuni things. Cid is a chuuni with bells on. There is no "overkill".
[1] I don't like the "innocents" thing. Even bad people don't deserve to die in a situation like that, never mind the gradations of innocence in everyone.
