It's too bad you didn't realize that QM doesn't govern the extremely large world. It's physical laws only represents the microscopic scale.

You might want to reconsider what you wrote here.

Quantum mechanics is the best theory we have to explain how nature works. Until someday, someone will come up with a better theory. Of course QM applies to "any" scale. For the same reasons General relativity applies to Gravitation on "any" scale. Now we can get away with Newton's Gravity theory for most of the daily business, although it is only an approximation of the "real thing". Same goes for any other laws for which we can get away in daily business by being approximations to the "real thing", quantum mechanics.

It also helps that all those "approximative theories" are (mostly) understandable, while qm really is a bitch. I don't think there is a single physicist that fully understands qm (I certainly don't, and I have a PhD in quantum optics...)

And lastly, as for killing Hitler baby, what would be the point? He was a product of his time. Gettimg him off the map would have resulted in just another figure taking his place. And Hitler was a lousy military commander, so things might have turned out even worse without him.
