I agree with your take...more specifically I think humanity reminded them of their own shortcomings

If you notice, the engineer that David wakes up from his slumber in the pod doesn't really go ballistic until he lifts David up, realizes that this is a droid developed by humans--i.e., the created have become creators not at all unlike the engineers--and this seems to infuriate him. He then goes to town, murdering everyone in the room (except Noomi, who gets away), and then takes off in his ship to go destroy humanity on Earth. Of course, his ship is rendered kaput and he has to settle for trying to destroy Noomi. He faith carries her through!

I also point out again the ties to the myth of Prometheus. It seems clear that the engineers have been paying for their bioengineering ventures for quite some time, just as Prometheus had to suffer for an eternity after giving life and fire to mankind. Same concept here. There is a higher "engineer" and we'll see where the story goes in Prometheus 2.
