We should want to cure them.
Therefore diseases are not for a greater good for humanity.

Did we answer this one yet? (apologies I can't be bothered to read all of this thread)

Humanity serves it's own ends. This question fails to address religion as religion covers more than humanity. The greater good =/= the greater good for humanity.

The problem of evil doesn't have a problem with creation of humans. In this case, you are addressing the evil of diseases.

Humans can exist without disease.
