Well you know what? I'm not going to lie, I didn't think that far into it but now that you mention it it really should have been very obvious to me. In one way FB is helping shield people from harm. On the other hand if enough people could get information thru FB via groups created and populated by people marked with that Kurd option it may help in some way, maybe a roundabout way, I'm unsure. FB can be a useful tool but at the same time you are definitely right and it's not their sole responsibility nor should they be held responsible for just trying to minimize the damage they cause through their service / website / features.
