How could a god be evil or good. This would require desire and we still have the question of "What could god possibly desire?".
I'm saying that even if God did desire something, we would only even care if it benefited us.
"What could God possibly desire?" simply suggests that a question of our purpose is irrational (and arrogant).
My point is that we're not even interested in the answer itself, so the question of our purpose is irrelevant.
Also, the "malicious overlord" statement works the same without the word evil (though evil is undoubtedly what we would end up calling him, even though he'd have given us our 'purpose').
