Plus why did he want to destroy humanity? With the position he had in the MPs, he could've made a comfy living for the rest of his days.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it was explained in the second movie that Kubal was given Shifting abilities by the government specifically so that he could destroy the outermost Wall. Since the citizens of the Walls had started to doubt that Titans were real, the government was hoping that if Titans were let in, it would scare anyone from ever wanting to leave the Walls again. Easily they could have just said that Kubal and Shikishima (The "Levi" of the movie) were from the mysterious 'Homeland' but of course no. They don't even bother with including a Annie character and a Female Titan at that!
