Not sure how your search missed them.

There only two reasons they could get away with this (and one they might not) that I can think of.
1. There are no ET's, so no retaliation will happen.
2. TPTB have permission to hit that spot by ET's.
The not. We're trying to flush out a public showing of ET's to all of Earth by intentionally making them mad. (Bad idea if so)
There is no bomb
A kinetic bombardment is the act of attacking a planetary surface with an inert projectile, where the destructive force comes from the kinetic energy of the projectile impacting at very high velocities.
Their LCROSS mission will blast off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying a missile that will blast a hole in the lunar surface at twice the speed of a bullet.
The missile, a Centaur rocket, will be steered by a shepherding spacecraft that will guide it towards its target - a crater close to the Moon's south pole.
If the true intent of the LCROSS mission moon bombing is a hostile act by NASA against known extraterrestrial civilizations and settlements on the moon, then NASA and by extension the U.S. government are guilty of aggressive war which is the most serious of war crimes under the U.N. Charter and the Geneva Conventions, to which the U.S. is subject. The U.N. Outer Space Treaty, which the U.S. has ratified, requires that “ The moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military manoeuvres on celestial bodies shall be forbidden.” 98 nations have ratified and 125 nations have signed the U.N. Outer Space Treaty.

So...... I'll play along, the ET's see us, blow up 0.0000000000000000add a few hundred zeros 1 % of the moon, and you think they're going to freak out or something? I fail to understand the harm?

There is always some ulterior motive, and they wouldn't tell us the truth anyways. They could be testing a new chemical weapon for all we know.

LCROSS will excavate the permanently dark floor of one of the Moon’s polar craters with two heavy impactors
We're going back to the moon today- to blow it up! NASA's LCROSS craft at this very moment is on its way for the highly scientific mission of "throwing two tons of ultraflammable fuel into the moon at nine thousand kilometers an hour". The next time someone says science is boring, feel free to laugh at them.
Any unspent rocket fuel (primarily hydrazine) will most likely “flash”, or burn, at impact. With regards to the Centaur we are being very careful to purge as much of the rocket fuel (hydrazine, liquid oxygen and hydrogen) as possible so as not to contaminate our measurements.
Destruction? Some. Big deal. A 20 meter crater. Do you have any idea how many 20 meter craters there are on the Moon?
The impact will excavate a crater about 1/3 of a football field wide and about the depth of the deep end of a swimming pool.
The upper stage of the launch vehicle (about the weight of a large SUV) will impact into either the North or South Pole of the Moon at over 9,000 km/h (5,600 mph).

it is a big deal to some people and shows no respect for the Moon at all.
humans are good at destruction so i guess it parr for the course.
an impact at that speed is going to make a bigger hole than what they are claiming. NASA will of course say...oh it will just be a little hole , no harm done.
it's a lie....and what happens if they can't get rid of all the poisonous hydrazine ? will they still proceed with the crash impact ?
you bet they will, it's all about the money and military superiority and they won't care about polluting the Moon to get what they are after.
