Whether or not something is or "evil" depends entirely on intent. If someone does something monstrous just for its own sake, or because they enjoy it, it's morally evil. But if someone does something monstrous because they genuinely believe it is for a greater good and necessary, then it's good.

Nobody does evil acts just for the sake of it though, by these standards, evil might as well not exist at all.

I would disagree. Some people literally get off to the idea of being evil, sexual sadists etc

Yeah, because they don't think evil is "evil", they're usually sociopaths, and sociopaths generally see other human beings as NPCs without feelings, which means they feel justified in using them as a means to an end, even if that end is something petty like sexual pleasure

But they don't pursue that because they think it's a "greater good" or something noble, they pursue it because it makes them alone feel good. It's selfish, this is what I was trying to say in the OP

Healing the sick is monstruous and raping innocent children is an act for the greater good
