As for plot holes the black goo was extremely inconsistent and didn't make any sense. It would turn some into mutants, dissolve an engineer, supposedly create humans, make a xenomorph-birthing face-hugger within a human, etc. It never did the same thing twice.
The engineers created humans but now suddenly want to wipe out the human race?
There's a lot of other shit too like:
Shaw sort of forgets she gave birth to an ALIEN in the freaking ship wtf? Oh hey guys nothing new here I just had major surgery and gave birth to a terrifying alien over there but pay no attention to that. Oh and I can run a marathon after surgery too, ya know.
I'm not going to go over all the crap, but this site lists just about all the plot holes.

The black goo encounters are different whenever you see them because ze goo itself appears different. The engineer at the start drinks something that has a similar effect, but it looks different in the cup. it might not even be the same stuff exactly, given the apparent time differences (and the different style of ship). Holloway gets a tiny amount of it while Fifield falls head first into the stuff. The alternate version of his attack scene makes him look more like a xenomorph, which I do think would have worked better.
As for why they wanted to kill all humans. All of the paintings were made by civilisations who viewed the Engineers as gods. The carbon dating scene specifies the body as being roughly two-thousand years old. Merely guesswork, but I do wonder if, because of the rise of current religions that don't worship them, the engineers got a little pissed off. Then again, maybe they just wanted a planet of specimens to use. The ship in the original movie was specified to be a bomber by Scott that dropped alien eggs onto the surface. It seems to have been changed for the goo canisters, which in the film start sweating when exposed to an atmosphere similar to Earth's. Janek assumes the outpost was a military facility manufacturing it, and you see little hints about the xenomorphs in the murals. The aim of the company in the original movies was to capture an alien to use as a bioweapon, which is likely the same intention of the Engineers. Exactly why, you'll need another film to clarify. But David states how 'to create something, you must first destroy.'
For Squidward, I think Shaw believes she killed it when she activates the decontamination, and obviously doens't expect it to become enormous. As for how she runs around afterward, I can only guess a mix of painkillers and adrenalin.
All guesswork, of course.
