Yeah but those questions are a big part of the universe and just asking them is enough to be interesting. I understand you dislike them and want them answered but if we get the answers chances are we won't like them at all.
Why the Engineers wanted to kill us were never a big part of the universe until that specific movie made it one. And then rather than saying there was no answer or no obvious answer, it told the audience to pay extra to get that answer.
And then they dropped it for the next film, so it's gone back to being a completely inconsequential part of the universe as a whole.
Literally the only way they could have made it unsatisfying is to do what they did -- not answer, and leave it as a cheap cliffhanger.
Any answer would've been more satisfying for the story. Whether I liked the specific response is another matter; I at least wouldn't have felt the entire second half of
Prometheus was a waste of time.
