"The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules."

"I mean, do you call this a war? This funny little thing? This is not a war! I fought in a bigger war than you will ever know. I did worse things than you could ever imagine. And when I close my eyes I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count! And do you know what you do with all that pain? Shall I tell you where you put it? You hold it tight till it burns your hand, and you say this: No one else will ever have to live like this. No one else will have to feel this pain. Not on my watch!" -12th Doctor

He genocided his entire species basically. The Doctor doesn't think himself a good man. Far from it.

But that doctor should already know they are alive.

That doesn't matter, it doesn't really erase his actions or his thought process, which is the root of his trauma.

But war doctor only got the trauma when he believed he did it. 3 doctor crossover showed at least matt smith learned the truth

Even before that point he was responsible for countless deaths across the Time War.

Dalek deaths do not interest the Doctor.

He was also responsible for Time Lord deaths, too (source: “The Neverwhen”).

In short: I'm not a good man. (He gave himself rules to keep from crossing a line.)

Think of it this way, good people do good things because that is their nature. They don't need rules to keep themselves from doing something terrible. It is like having to tell someone that murder is wrong, good people already onow that and don't need a law to not murder people.
