It's weird that you think the only message is that "humanity is horrible" when the protagonist himself is a moral figure who never loses his sense of purpose, the boy is innocent, and the ending is ambiguous but could easily be construed as deeply hopeful as not.

I think you're accusing the book of having "no nuance" because you missed the nuance, friend, not because it wasn't there. McCarthy isn't afraid of delving into the dark side of humanity, true (if you think this is bad, try Blood Meridian) but an unflinching look at cruelty, violence, and desperation =/= condemnation of humanity as whole.
