Suppose that you do kill me. That action would indeed be bad, but maybe you're going to have a son who will cure cancer. By eliminating you, God would have also eliminated the cure for cancer. Or perhaps my death will cause someone else to turn to God or to rethink the way they are living their life. By keeping me alive, God would have damned that person.

Though messing with time, as in God removes from existance some person, would cause changes the way you described, I do not see them as "problems." Further, given that
not getting rid of someone would change the universe in the same manner, the net effect is nothing. God makes it as though someone never existed: stuff happens, God doesn't do anything: stuff happens. So this does nothing to support the existance/nonexistance of God, nor does it suggest that God does or does not mess with the universe as described.
