If "evil" exists for a good purpose, is it really evil? If eliminating, combating or otherwise opposing "evil" prevents a greater good, then what would traditionally be a good act turns out to be evil. And we're back where we started, yet somehow unable to do good, and only evil. Which is apparently not itself evil.
I think a theist would argue that having an evil to oppose is the greater good.
