What tradition and cultural values exactly?

Allowing gay people to exist doesn't mean you're forced to participate in any gay activities. Just like allowing a video game with a gay character to release doesn't mean anybody would be forced to play that game.

Saudi Arabia is a country where having families and raising children plays an important role in society. Since homosexual relationships do not produce children, it doesn’t really fit in with Saudi tradition of starting families. If homosexual relationships could produce children, then perhaps it would be more compatible with Saudi Arabian society.

I know that we are steering away from the topic of FF16 being banned in Saudi Arabia, so I will end my discussion here. But if you wanted to know why homosexuality is not seen favourably in Saudi Arabia, there is your answer.

So logically they should execute everybody that doesn't want children or is infertile too then? Because choosing to not have children is so bad.

You realise your argument is utterly ridiculous, right? Accepting gay people doesn't mean people can't start families anymore. So why should everybody be forced to do it? Eating meat is a big part of a lot cultures too, should they ban vegetarians then because they're not participating in that culture? No because that would be ridiculous, just like what you suggested.
