It doesn't matter who created x, if anyone or no one created x, x would still be as good as it is. The good is loved by the gods because it -is- good.
1) Someone/something (e.g. billy, bob, god, no-one in particular) can be created "the way it is"
AND
2) "The way it is" has own goodness.

It is possible that billy-bob makes a thing AS having its own inherent goodness <= option 3
I understand that you'd like to reject this even as you accept it, by commenting on your gods creative acts or telos, but to do so is to invoke option 2...and is most emphatically -not- a coherent option, let alone a coherent third option.
