Crashing (in the sense of "give up and exit with an error") on invalid inputs is valid (and often the best thing) in many cases.
Fix your inputs.

I think you're using "crash" to mean "exit early". I am using "crash" in the sense of "this program did something causing the OS to terminate it externally". I suppose that's a real point of difficulty in communication across different programming languages.
We agree that the program should exit early. I think we agree it should do it cleanly and intentionally. I'm adding the constraint that "crash" doesn't necessarily mean "cleanly and intentionally", especially when talking about a C program.
