Allowing us to wipe ourselves out is based on allowing us to be rational thinkers. Rationally, we would never do that. But he loves us enough to let us make our own decisions, or we'd be passed off due to a lack of free will. Most things that can wipe us out are of our own doing. There is the odd natural disaster, but he's already agreed he'd never allow that to happen, (hence the rainbow in Noah's ark). So we can certainly hurt ourselves, but nothing will ever wipe us out again... at least not of his doing.

The point I poorly tried to make is that with our intelligence, creatures like dinosaurs would have nothing on other more dangerous things; like, disease, famine, etc.
If we (humans) can survive the most brutal assaults of nature and man-made horror, then surely the dinos would have been a breeze. Surely they would have been incorporated into the ecological balance of the planet. If God wanted it of course.
