Let's take a look a few reasons, that I beleive, cause the Covenate to hate humanity.

1. Humans breed, in great excess, to the point where they colonize purley because of overpopulation.
2. The flood infect sentient beings, the more that there are, the more flood that spread.
3. The Covenate worship the Forerunner, they, overtime, may take that data and say, "Whatever breeds alot, must be destroyed."
4. The grunts have population control anyway, since they are slaughtered quite often.

So the covenate have taken Forerunner data and twisted it over the years.

Personally, I think they Forerunner developed the Covenant for their own purposes a while ago, probably as servants or maybe just for entertainment. Of course, assuming the Forerunner were human, they may have wronged the Covenant in some way, causing them to hate humanity. Their gods may just be a fabrication of the Forerunner, designed to control the Covenant. Guess the Forerunner didn't know about the Crusades or the Intifadeh - religion is one of the biggest causes of war.
