That some x is bad is meaningful regardless of whether or not you or anyone else clothes it with goal oriented ethics. If no one did, it would still be bad.
No it isn't. X is just X. X is just a series of scientific and historical facts about X, no good or bad to be found among them. Just like no good or bad is to be found among the scientific facts about the pizza.
You understand the location of good and bad, when it comes to pizza is somewhere else other than in the scientific facts about the pizza, in states of mind, good and bad are facts about my taste, my likes and dislikes.
Just because you're talking about objective good, doesn't mean that you to get magically erase the problem of the location of good and bad, within historical and scientific facts about x. You'd have to locate it somewhere else, something to replace a state of mind, like some sort of non-natural moral reality, like a Platonic conception of Good. Here you've replaced a state of mind in subjectivist account, to an external reality outside of our minds.
When you try and brush it under the rug of scientific and historical facts about x, you're just being sneaky, being deceptive, fooling yourself. Which you clearly understand when I tried to do the same for Pizza Taste Realism.
