Was the US justified taking half of Mexico territory in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo?

No. It was a war motivated by slave owners and greedy imperialists who dreamed of a Manifest Destiny (i.e. a continental United States) at the expense of Mexico.
However, at the time most countries didn't have any inhibitions when pursuing these goals. What today would qualify as "stealing" or "genocide", during the 19th century was considered "business as usual".
