The collateral damage is required if the most evil of evil that ever evil-ed is to be defeated.
They sat on their asses while Morgoth enslaved, killed and destroyed men, elves and the same Middle-Earth that the supposed guardians of Eru's creations were to protect. Eventually, they do have to intervene to bring him down, so why not do it eariler to prevent destruction and lost lives up to that point?

Those assholes absolutely deserved it. Just give him the fucking boats, he is only chasing after the most evil being in the world while the literal gods of the world are twiddling their thumbs and doing nothing.

What are your thoughts on Valar doing jack shit throughout the book?
How about Feanor, do you feel he did little wrong or nothing wrong?
Was Fingolfin challenging Morgoth to a fight the most badass moment in the book?
Is Turin the most important character in the book?
Are you going to skip "of Beleriand and its kingdoms" on subsequent reads?

Hey, you are a better person than me. I find it physically exhausting to read, a geography textbook crossed with dictionaries because the good professor wanted to indulge in his language fetishism and decided to name every toponym in the book in multiple languages.
