I don't think the Equalists are out to kill all benders, they probably want to suppress bending and find ways of disabling benders permanently to make them "normal". It doesn't help their cause to kill a lot of people, as whether or not you're born a bender seems to be pretty random and almost no one would condone killing children. They probably want to make a society where bending is completely discouraged, sort of the way earthbending was forbidden in Haru's village, but for all the elements.

That being said, they'll probably still be aiming to kill Korra and Krew because it's clear there's no suppressing her bending.
