I mean he sacrificed children (Egypt curses among others), and destroyed the whole world the with flood.
Then in the new Jesus starts his ministry of love, and forgiveness and compassion.
Change and growth are predicated on being imperfect and seeking improvement. Why would change needed if one was perfect? How could he even be capable of change if all knowledge is already known?

You are correct that God is changeless from a moral perspective. God might change in relation to things like time, for example, knowing today is Dec. 24th, and tomorrow knowing it is Dec 25th, but the God of the Old Testament was morally perfect and the God of the New Testament identically morally perfect.

yeah, you have to remember the people in the old testament weren't good people and he was just doing what they deserved to happen to them. Unlike today where everyone is highly educated and knows right from wrong.

What do you mean by right and wrong? Who determines what is right and what is wrong?
