I think you
may live in a different galactic cluster
or perhaps
use a very different dictionary
or perhaps
have not had any relationship with Yehovah.
Your assertions and assumptions about Him are off the wall.
And, it doesn't sound like you've read anything near the same OT I have.

There were merely LOTS of fallen angels who did not take up bodies to hump human women and were therefore, not killed in the flood. Those that were, their spirits became demons.
Those who had not taken the mortal body route to hump women . . . some at later times, after the flood, DID do so--resulting in more such offspring, hybrids etc.
Hell it's far more likely that an alien and a human couldn't have sex altogether, but if it is possible no kids could come of it. That is a guarantee.
The federal government announced plans Thursday to lift a moratorium on funding of certain controversial experiments that use human stem cells to create animal embryos that are partly human. The National Institutes of Health is proposing a new policy to permit scientists to get federal money to make embryos, known as chimeras, under certain carefully monitored conditions. One issue is that scientists might inadvertently create animals that have partly human brains, endowing them with some semblance of human consciousness or human thinking abilities. Another is that they could develop into animals with human sperm and eggs and breed, producing human embryos or fetuses inside animals or hybrid creatures.

I see how you still appear to be very . . . unaware . . .
of The Yehovah I know . . . and The Yehovah of the Bible.
I see how you still appear to be very smug in judging Yehovah.
I've never found that to be a life-producing stance, attitude, perspective.

Ba'al and Ashteroth were Caananite deities, YHWH hated the Israelities worshipping them in the OT and judged the Caananites and the Jews who worshipped them. If you go back to the story of Elijah on Mt. Carmel at the time of King Ahab you'll read about the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Ba'al and prophetesses of Ashteroth.
YHWH showed He was the true God and Ba'al and Ashteroth were false Gods.

ALMIGHTY God, Yehovah, has a different perspective .
Guess which perspective wins.
Just because you imagine to have knowledge of Yahweh doesn't make it reality. I obviously know the scriptures better than you so I think you are just being adversarial because I use logic and you use blind faith and acceptance of what you are told.

UNMITIGATED NONSENSE.
As I've noted . . . during a long dark night of the soul--5 years long--I ended up stripped of virtually all my beliefs. I only KNEW that God existed and that I still believed that the Bible was His revealed Word.
I had to work things back one tiny step at a time from there--in a very earnest dialogue and dance with Yehovah.
Thankfully, you weren't there to throw rocks at the process.
What I believe has been birthed out of the nitty gritty of my life.
You don't have to believe that.
You could, instead, go chase a duck or suck rocks in terms of the usefulness of your blather.
This is a typical English translation of Genesis 6:4 that contains some errors, including the last phrase, 'men of renown'. It may be more accurately rendered as ‘the people of the shem’.[2]
What, then, is the 'shem'? The persistence of biblical translators to employ "name" wherever they encounter shem has ignored a farsighted study published more than a century ago by G. M. Redslob… in which he correctly pointed out that the term shem and the term shamaim (“heaven”) stem from the root word shamah, meaning "that which is highward."[3] The shem was also closely linked with fire and a stone; the shem thus was a 'highward fire-stone'.[4]
In other words, it seems to be a reference to none other than a 'heavenly stone'. Strongly corroborating this is the fact that: Shems were particularly associated with something called an-na, which meant 'heavenly stone', a term that was also used to define a shining metal. The use of the word shem in respect of its 'shining' aspect is apparent in the alternative name for Prince Utu, brother of Inanna… His epithet was Shem-esh: the Shining One.[5]
As 'Shining Ones' is another epithet for the Watchers, it can be inferred that the Nephilim were the 'people of the shem'... or that the 'fallen angels' are to be considered the 'people of the heavenly stone'. So, in a sense, the Watchers are the personification of the heavenly stone.
