In the Azurites' opinion, they were an existential threat, but the audience knows better. Whatever pretext the Azurites invented for killing "Evil" humanoids on sight is necessary to obscure the fact that the gods put those humanoids there for the purpose of giving humans more XP and the humans are availing themselves of that gift.
