I think you misunderstand something. The Emperor was created from a non sentient fetus, that of a normal human, and altered inside the womb before it was born by an ordinary woman, by the souls of the Mlillions Shamans, who are the source of the majority of His knolwedge, power and understanding. They even altered His behaviour, values and character. He was very just ,noble, honest and all that, but above all completely incorruptible.

Good and proper decisions are based on knowledge, and no one human history has had more understanding, power and knowldege than The Emperor. In that regard He was `quilified` if you will, to direct people in the right direction and away from Chaos. He disliked using force to control people, and probably because of that started the major religions of Old Terra. Only when there was no other way did He `create` the persona of The Emperor and began to conquer the Galaxy.
