Yes I agree they knew it was wrong, because they knew the consequences, but I believe they only understood it as wrong, not evil. Like a child knows right from wrong but not that wrong is actually evil, at least till the child reaches a certain age which could vary from child to child.
Po-tae-to, po-tah-to.

Drich will be the first to tell you that sin = evil, and to sin is to do something against the Will of God. In this case, his Will stated that they should not eat from the tree i.e. their disobedience was evil.
