Also, your heading quote is wrong, or at least a misnomer; were evil to be destroyed good would no longer be good, but rather plain exsistance. In order to have good or believe in good one needs also for evil to exsist.
Mediocrity isn't evil, which is the point. In order for one to understand good as a way of being as opposed to something else you need that something else in order to weigh the scale. Removing evil from the equation leaves good with nothing comparable to, thus it becomes the way of being, not a way of being ((good vs. inadiquite or good vs... good light doesn't work, it demeans the value of good)). It's like cutting off your left hand and then saying, "I write with my right hand." Well of course you write with your right hand, you've got nothing else. Basically, if you want good to still be good and have it carry the same weight, evil needs to stick around.

Besides...good would still be good, as mediocrity is not evil.
