I think I am going for yes. He does meet guidelines - he slaughtered (not just murdered) his own son not due to hopeless or drastic situation, but over a mere disagreement (would it have killed him to imprison his son or sealing him alive?). Even Youkais in Inuyasha, who has zero qualms about killing their own siblings with such an internecine nature, is shown to cherish their own offsprings. Hell, Even before going on about offsprings, Gatenmaru's brother (forgot what his name was) attempted to kill Inuyasha and his company to avenge his dead brother (in anime). Although Inuyasha did say Youkais never accept half-blooded brethrens, simply not accepting and not accepting by killing them are two different things. This means to a point, Inuyasha's youkais have some standard and even from youkais' standard what Taigokumaru did to his son and granddaughter is abominable. This mofo deserves the title of "the worst parent" in the whole series. And when his granddaughter found out the truth, he attempted to kill her as soon as she displayed the sign of defiance. Failing that, he attempted to drag his granddaughter to hell in a final act of spite. And like any typical youkais, he sadistically raided, plundered, pillaged and exploited a village where his granddaughter lived so him annihilating humans are nothing extraordinary - because that is what youkais do (Inuyasha's father and Jinenji's father were special cases). When his human daughter-in-law protested, Taigoku simply said that words of humans are meaningless, indicating he never intended to honor promises he made (faux affably evil, liar and hypocrite)

that being said, this page needs to be rewritten in more refined manner.
