This was his vision, you can see this by where he decides to retire to. His garden, beautiful nature and no one around to destroy it with greed and pollution.
He feels that future is the best for everyone and that he had succeeded in scaring the #### out of all the planets sentient beings into doing the right thing for survival. Another opportunity to do what is right for the planets in his eyes. Perhaps he only wanted to give life one "second chance", that's why he destroyed the stones.

Doesn't make sense. You would only be giving an opportunity for the species and people who don't respect sustainability to take over. If I assume a certain amount of people on any planet are going to control themselves and a certain amount are just going to consume and reproduce at the cost of all else, if I wipe out half, I've now wiped out half of the people into conservation, and the empty houses are just going to be taken over by whoever reproduces the most.
Thinking more about the Darkseid thing. Do we know that Darkseid forgot where Earth was? Steppenwolf was acting on his own in exile. It would make sense that Darkseid would want to keep the location of Earth secret from people like Steppenwolf, as Earth contained a very powerful weapon that could be used against him. So Steppenwolf's lack of knowledge is pretty meaningless.
They also mentioned a multiverse. If there are many versions of Earth it would make it harder to track. Especially if the planets themselves are all moving.
