The context of the rest of the chapter. God isn't talking about the general creation of Evil as you have suggested.
What is being discussed here is the the support God has for Cyrus and the confusion and destruction He will create for his enemys. This becomes appearent if you can be bothered to read any on either side of your selected passage.
You have taken a message out of it's context to support your baseless assertion. So I ask again for book Chapter and verse where Evil Needs to be created.
