This feels like a theological No-True-Scotsman argument: "What you call evil isn't really, really evil."
I don't need to be omniscient to know that a baby suffering of malaria and dying is evil, or that bombing someone's family because they don't share your religious views is evil.
If those things have to happen for God's plan to unfold to its fruition, then I'll simply say that at best, a good end required evil means. If you want to say, "Well, since it serves a good goal, it is not evil," then we're out of theological discussion and into the simple meaning of words-- I will not accept your definition of the word "good."
