If we assume that innocent children go to heaven if they die, then killing innocent children means sending them to heaven. You remove any possibility that they could do enough wrong to separate themselves from God before death and guarantee their eternal happiness.
You might respond that God would command you not to do this, so it is wrong. However, this only makes it all the nobler. Not only do you have to struggle emotionally with killing children at the time, but you also sacrifice your own afterlife.
As such, under Christianity, murdering as many children as possible maximises their happiness at the price of your own eternal condemnation, and therefore is about as noble as any action can get.
