Evil is being separate from God, or separate from the intended order of creation. To go against the purposes of God is evil.
And that is the problem with your "objective" morality. You presuppose that he exists and is legitimately the ultimate moral authority, despite the fact that there is evidence to the contrary. Of course, if you blindly accept that he is, then slavery must be okay, and stoning people who work on Sunday is too. Those laws may not apply now, but god said them before, and why would an omnipotent, omniscient god change his mind?
