There is a little bit of evil in pretty much everything that is 'good', and there is a little bit of good in everything that is 'bad'. In the earthly realm, things aren't entirely good or entirely bad. There is a correct measure for everything. The correct measure is not necessarily a constant.
One persons good is another persons evil. Hitler did not think that he was evil.
Some people have been taught "Alexander the terrible" was great.
With a definition of good and evil then measurement would be possible. Perhaps if there was only "good" then everyone would be exactly the same, rather than the thoughts and deeds of different degrees of good and evil which would add up to a unique person.
So maybe variety would be impossible without having evil.
Evil could also create the potential for a greater good, more than if there was only good.
Like having starving people creates the potential for someone to do something about it.
