Shower talk: What's good now might be bad later

So I was just wondering, what if everyone bad: the murderers, the rapists, the wrong-doers (according to the law) were wiped out from the Earth? I know it sounds morbid but I wanted to know if Earth would really be a better place if all the "bad" was wiped out. Then somehow I came up with the answer myself, so hear me out~

Truth is, no. It's not that I'm being pessimistic or negative but even if all the "bad" (again depends on a reference point but let's assume bad things according to the law) were to be wiped out, bad would be born again since life here on Earth is "flowing". From once being "evolutionarily" fit to being extinct and new, better species evolving to continue the "flow" of life on Earth. Let me put it this way: bad things once were good. Like how killing others for food was fine in a primitive way and how now murder isn't fine. Even if everyone bad were wiped out from the earth, eventually what is considered right will be considered wrong in the future. It's a flow of "bad to good". A species once fit enough to live on earth being unfit and going extinct is just one example of good turning to bad and a new species being born from the "once bad" would be an example of good enough to even better. So, what might be good now can turn into bad later and be replaced by something even better, with the good and bad still flowing. Just like there's darkness and light (yin and yang), there will always be good and bad no matter what. I think evolution is a flow of bad to good, not exactly but it's a flow of good to better. Also, in the end, everything depends on your perspective. Just like how Physics problems don't make sense if you don't have a reference point, things in life won't make sense if you don't have a clear perspective.
