Why does God care if we don't believe in him?

We are created to have a relationship with God.
If we are not in a relationship we are incomplete and not living life in the best way.
It also means that we have rejected God, his moral, rules etc.

The True God loves us, that's why God cares. The True God YHWH was at some point in time, all alone, because he alone has no beginning. So at some point in time because of his love for life he wanted to share life with others. So he began bringing other life into existence at some point in time simply because of that love he had for life, and because he wanted to share life with others because of that love for life he has. So creation is an expression of God's love. That life God wanted for all his creation was eternal or everlasting life. That's how much he loves his creation. He wants his creation to exist forever.

So while it's true God doesn't want anyone to be destroyed but wants all to live forever, to have that everlasting life however, we have to show by the way we live our lives that we love YHWH God so much that we have faith that only YHWH God knows what's in the best interests of what he created(what is good) and what isn't in the best interests of what he created(what is bad). So only those who express that kind of love for God, and express that kind of faith in him because of their love for him, will get everlasting life.

So the fact that God loves us that much shows that he cares that we believe him simply and only because of our love we have for him. He cares that we express that kind of love and faith in him.

If God actually loves his creation so much then why did he ordered his creation to be killed in the Bible?

I don't even want to go in the topic of great flood where God killed most of his creation at that time himself.
 
God made us for His good pleasure as He loves what He has created and wants us to have a loving relationship with Him as a family. God does care about all who have turned away from Him as He would that none should perish

Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love

2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Only because God knows the intents of the heart as He will always destroy the enemy that comes against His own because He loves His own.

It seems to me that you don't really care to understand what was going on at the time God destroyed unrighteous human beings. You also don't believe that since God gave life that he is the only person with the right to take life from the living.

God didn't order all of his creation to be killed. He put some to death because they had chosen a course that showed those particular human beings had no love for God so they were not exercising faith in God. When such human beings become a threat to his people then God will destroy those unloving unfaithful people to protect those who do love him and exercise faith in him. The scriptures from the beginning to the end, has always taught that it is those who love God so much that they exercise faith that its YHWH God who knows what's in the best interest of what he has created(what is good) or what isn't in the best interest of what he has created(what is bad).

Because it is in His nature to be loving, which entails being concerned about the welfare of those He's made in His image. We certainly don't deserve His kind attention and concern, however, only His wrath and punishment.
