These musings have NOTHING to do with what is actually presented in the film

It contradicts your previous assertions, too.

Bottom line: there's no point in reading whatever you want into the details of how the black goo was packaged in the cannisters. What matters is the actual narrative and script; what is shown and said in the film to support one theory or another.

Given all that was said and shown in the film, all you can really say about the canisters and the substance(s) inside is that it's designed to wipe out populations. It follows that if the engineers are headed to Earth with a ship full of the canisters they wanted to wipe out mankind. Several of the characters in the film came to this conclusion; it is supported in the script and you have said nothing specific to the film that suggests the engineers had a different motive.
