Actually his motives were not of the Well-Intentioned Extremist variety. He outright says that once everyone becomes super, no one will be because that will be the standard. So actually it is an insidious symbolical destruction of the very concept of superhumans. Nothing well-intentioned about it.

And in fact he DID know there were children on board. Elasti-Girl says in no uncertain terms there are children onboard, which shocks Mirage. Syndrome however doesn't care and goes through with the plane's destruction.

So in the end he is not a Well-Intentioned Extremist and knowingly targeted missiles at children.
