Angels do not have sex organs to able to procreate with women.
Also, the Septuagint has angels of GOD (or my angels) instead of sons of GOD in verses where it is obviously referring to angels.
And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them. Job 1:6
When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice. Job 38:7
Also, to which of the angels did GOD ever say, 'You are my son?'. He didn't.
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Matthew 22:30

For to which of the angels did he ever say, “You are my son, today I have fathered you,” and again, “I will be his father, and he will be my son”? Hebrews 1:5

and it has taken me twenty minutes to make this post to you haha.
As to people suggesting it does not make sense that Seth could be Godly while Cain was not, simply because they were the same bloodline of Adam and Eve, well, Cain and Abel were of the same blood line also, and so were Jacob and Esau. I am not sure how that is seen not to make any sense in light of the rest of Scripture.

Yes men can be deceived by the antichrist s Satan who has no form (DNA) and move men according to his lying will.
Sons of God is in respect to those as many that are led by the Spirit of God that dwells in them .
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
If any man has not the Spirit of Christ, the Holy anointing Spirit of God ...they do not belong to the spiritual seed of God, and not seeds referring the flesh of men.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
As you mentioned.; If it is from the line of Seth, and they are considered the sons of God.
Yes, a clear distinction between the things of God and those of men must be made. Again seed single speaking of the spiritual one seed. Christ , by which all men are born again from above.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

There seems to be a significant amount of evidence that the giants referred to in Gen 6 were actual giants.

This would seem to support the possibility that the "sons of god" had some way to procreate even if we can't guess what it might have been 3000 years later.

Why should the daughters of Adam be the ungodly daughters of Cain?
The text is clearly implying that the guilt was on the "sons of Elohim" side, not on the side of some kind of "ungodly daughters of Cain", so the sons of Seth should be the ungodly ones, in this case.
And the main problem - the text itself does not have the Seth/Cain names at all... its a pure invention put into to text to get rid of supernatural event.
Text have "sons of Elohim" and "the daughters of Adam", which is always a description of humanity.
To giants - yes, sometimes, by genetics, in a average population, some individuals can get by some mutations abnormal height. But its mainly some kind of desease and they very frequently die quite young.
But why should series of renown giants be a product of godly/ungodly tribes mixing? What would be the reason for this?

Let Scripture define itself.
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Job 1:6, "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them."
Angels are sons of God. All angels throughout the Bible are male(Christmas tree toppers are female, sorry). The fallen sons of God had relations with the daughters of men thus corrupted the seed line of man. Only Noah's lineage was not corrupted, thus Noah and his family were saved upon the ark to keep the promise of Genesis 3:15.
Genesis 6:9, "These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."
This shows the importance of Genesis chapter 5 and how God kept a seed line perfect and not corrupted by the sons of God. These relationships show up throughout the Bible as Satan attacks the promised seed. Even in the end times we see the iron mixed with clay battling it out with the Lord and His angels.

In Genesis 6:4, we see that
there were giants in the earth in those days (days of Noah)
and ALSO AFTER THAT (another occurrence of nephilim)
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them.
Different names for nephilim in Scripture:
Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants:
sons of Anak (anakim) which come of the giants (nephilim).
Deuteronomy 2:10-11 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
The moabites refer to the anakims as "emims".
Deuteronomy 2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
The ammonites refer to them as "zamzummims".
In Deuteronomy 2:11 and 2:20, the word "giants" is the Hebrew word rə-p̄ā-’îm --- rephaim is another branch of nephilim.

What about the dozens, if not hundreds of bones discovered over the centuries that show people being as tall as over 20 feet?
How were some structures built that we can't even do today> Yes, there are some stone in this world that we can't lift with our modern cranes.
What about the purity of Noah?
The book of Enoch is referred to in the bible.
Why did God tell the Israelite's to kill not only al woman and children, but even all the animals of certain groups? Maybe because God was concerned of a repeat with what happened with dinosaurs?
What about hundreds of alien sightings, UFO sightings, alien abduction stories? Funny how the uptick in all of these coincide with the times that the fallen angels were to be released, according to certain sources.
So because angels are not sexual does not mean they did not have the technology knowledge to do this?
Because there is a man that was about 9 feet tall, means that the bible is incorrect? So then how do we explain dwarfs or midgets conversely?
How did man get certain knowledge back in those ancient days? From the garden to working with metals, understanding astrology, and so on. Is it at least possible that fallen angels instructed them in some areas?
I am not expert about this, but I have studied this for about over 150 hours over the years, and I personally find the evidence compelling that there were giants, and it was fallen angels.

As for angels being able to take human form: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Heb. 13:2
