Many who believe in God derive meaning, despite God theoretically being able to do anything they can do but better, from the fact that He chose not to do the tasks they are good at, and left them tasks to try to accomplish. Its common for such people to believe that this meaning would disappear if God disappeared, but whenever such a person does come to no longer believe in God, they often continue to see meaning in their life[1].
Now atheists worry about building God because it may destroy all meaning to our actions. I expect we’ll adapt.
(edit: That is to say, I don’t think you’ve adequately described what “meaning of life” is if you’re worried about it going away in the situation you describe)
If anything, they’re more right than wrong, there has been much written about the “meaning crisis” we’re in, possibly attributable to greater levels of atheism.
