Conservative scholars would also say it wasn’t just to ensure the survival of Israel but also the royal lineage of Jesus who would ultimately inaugurate the restoration and redemption of humanity.
They would also say there is a link between God’s OT command for violence against the Canaanites and his prior and future judgments against humanity. For example, the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the future Final Judgment Jesus will enforce over all mankind when he returns to make all things new, when he restores, redeems, and brings justice to this broken world.
In any case, I like how 1 Cor. 13:12 says, “For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully”. Sometimes it’s important to remember God's ways are inherently mysterious and impossible for finite humans to completely understand.
"For in him [Christ] the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily..." -Colossians 2:9
"These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." -Colossians 2:17
"God, who gave our forefathers many different glimpses of the truth in the words of the prophets, has now, at the end of the present age, given us the truth in the Son. Through the Son God made the whole universe, and to the Son he has ordained that all creation shall ultimately belong. This Son, radiance of the glory of God, flawless expression of the nature of God..." -Hebrews 1:1-3 (Phillips)
"When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you….do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you. Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God." - Deut. 20:1,16-18
