I don't believe Chara is evil because:

1. Chara is never the one to hit the fight button until they have gained so much LOVE that they are numb to killing. And, even with 20 LV, they still are not the one to kill their best friend at the end of Genocide.

2. Chara destroyed the universe that you already killed everyone in after they had 20 LV and were completely numb to any killing at all. They kill you if you say Do Not since they don't care anymore and don't get why you would want to keep this world that you destroyed by your own choice.

3. Chara wanted to free all monsters and was willing to die a very painful death to free them. You could say they manipulated Asriel, but he seemed okay about it. You could say they wanted to use their full power, but it is possible that they were being attacked at this time.

4. It is strongly hinted in the game that Chara climbed Mt. Ebott to commit suicide. It is also hinted that they were abused by humans, which is why they hate humanity.

5. "But what about Asriel saying Chara wasn't really the greatest person?" Monster Kid says this about Undyne, but she isn't evil. Are any of the characters really the greatest (besides Papyrus who is perfect)? Are YOU the greatest person? Not being the greatest person doesn't equal being evil.

6. Chara obviously loved the Dreemurrs. They literally made a sweater for Asgore and a drawing. Also, you are probably saying "What about when they poisoned Asgore and LAUGHED?!" Well, many characters laugh as a coping mechanism. Asriel was probably too innocent to realize this. Also, how was a child supposed to know that cups of butter doesn't mean buttercups and that those flowers are poisonous?

7. If Chara is the narrator, which is a very likely theory, they help you on a Pacifist Run. "But they help you on a Genocide Route too with a kill count!" After they gained LOVE and you killed their adoptive mother right in front of them.

8. "In a Soulless Pacifist Route they kill all of the main characters!!!" After they, like I said, have gained 20 LV and are completely numb. They are giving you consequences for your actions and showing you that they are in control.

9. "What about the creepy face they made at Flowey?" After gaining 19 LV.

So if you want to argue, I have a lot of things to answer those arguements with.
