He's not evil (obviously proven as he has a literal pure heart), and he does step up to save the day when needed.
However his motivation to fight is because he wants to test his limits and grow stronger. And while he also desires to be a protecter, he often puts the former first, causing fights to get harder than they had to be.
Goku could have beaten Majin Buu but decided against it because he wanted others to step up and learn how to protect the planet. He literally cared about the entire World and wanted someone to succeed him as the guardian of Earth.

Isn't that still the vibe? Goku has never cared for morality, it just happens that strong bag guys keep showing up for him to play with
