The 3 directives does not require to create a machine with the 3 directives. Nor is necessarily the intention to harm humans to create a machine without the 3 directives.

Machines are pretty stupid. They do exactly what they are told to do. If you have not told it specifically that creating a robot should not be created without the 3 directive may harm humans and if the AI has not determined that the machine without the 3 directives can do harm to humans (aka have not thought of it), is perfectly possible for the machine to do it without violating his directives.
