Destroying blocking creatures and not being able to attack
I was under the impression that if I destroy a blocking creature, that my attacking creature will be able to attack. If this is true, I am being prevented from attacking with said creature after destroying target blocking creature.

509.1h An attacking creature with one or more creatures declared as blockers for it becomes a
blocked creature; one with no creatures declared as blockers for it becomes an unblocked
creature. This remains unchanged until the creature is removed from combat, an effect says that
it becomes blocked or unblocked, or the combat phase ends, whichever comes first. A creature
remains blocked even if all the creatures blocking it are removed from combat.510.1c A blocked creature assigns its combat damage to the creatures blocking it. If no creatures are
currently blocking it (if, for example, they were destroyed or removed from combat), it assigns
no combat damage. If exactly one creature is blocking it, it assigns all its combat damage to that
creature. If two or more creatures are blocking it, it assigns its combat damage to those creatures
divided as its controller chooses among them. -

This is not how the game works. Unless you have trample your attack will not go through if you destroy a creature after blockers are declared
