Child abuse, in any form (violent, psychological, or sexual) screws up people's worldview and psyche. I can see how extremely severe abuse could lead someone to hate everyone; particularly if when the person reached out for help; they were ignored, rebuffed, or failed in a major way.
Given that, If a person hated everyone and then somehow was granted incredible power (which I'm assuming Neferet has); it's conceivable (though unlikely) that they might try to destroy everyone.
Another thing to consider is that how many actual plausible reasons exist for someone (presumably born human) to want to destroy the human race? Anytime you have a villian who wants to wipe out the human race and not have them be completle alien in origin (elder evil, aliens, etc.) you're going to have to stretch a bit for a reason.
