[Dungeons & Dragons] Why did the gods make many monsters that prey on humans? Don't the gods want a larger human population so they have more worshippers and more power?

No. That's not how the pantheon works. There are gods that humans (and elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc) worship. But there are also gods that the orcs worship (like Gruumsh) or that goblins worship (like Kurtulmak). Moreover, there are gods of discord that relish seeing civilization being terrorized, and they created monsters to see such a thing happen. Their (humanoid) worshippers accept this as a necessity.
