I wouldn't. There's a lot we as a species should regret, but too destroy ourselves would be pointless. In nature, species compete with each other, and species get wiped out. It happens. We're using our trump card (intelligence) to our maximum advantage, spreading and propagating and outcompeting everything. We are recreating the Earth, just like oxygen-breathing life forms, multi-cellular life and vertebrates did before us. We are being true to our nature.
If you gave ants, for example, fire and metal tools, you think they wouldn't sweep across the world and turn it into an ant playground? Of course they would, any species with such an advantage would make as much use of it as they possibly could.
We aren't out of place, or unnatural. We're just winning. We're the Earth's best hope to propagate Earthly life throughout the universe, so its in Her best interest that we survive.
