That depends on how one defines "good".

By the way, welcome to Mingle2.

In my opinion, it would be a very sad world if they didn't exist.

Yes we all could benefit from a little humor. I don't know how one could live without it.

Not really. And they never did.
After the invention of psychology, the 40 hour work week, disposable income, globalization, individualization, and down time, perspectives have to become more realistic and informative, more effort needs to be put into personal judgments.

When people were incapable of seeing much beyond the immediate, when your existence was primarily in a static cultural/social environment, you could shortcut label people and behavior "good" or "bad."

Having the time, resources, available knowledge, to compare and contrast cross culturally, deconstruct every motive and influence, spend years in therapy talking to your inner child, take vacations, or simply get in the car or on the internet and go off to interact with different people and cultures, labeling people "good" or "bad" is simply not possible.

Like if you go to Baskin & Robbins and tried all 31 flavors.
Easily accomplished in your life. Flavors the same, all day, every day, until you die.
You can determine which flavors are "good" and which are "bad."
You can find people that may have made the exact same decision as you.

Now go to Baskin Robbins with 7,000,000,000+ different flavors. With millions of flavors removed every day, and millions more added every day. And you can spend a month or years going to a doctor to determine how your taste buds are changing as you change, or how one flavor tastes different after 30 years of only eating that one, foregoing ice cream all together in self discovery as more flavors are removed and added and put out of easy reach of you. You can go online and discuss with people all the different flavors, while all the flavors are constantly changing and you aren't actually eating them, just talking about them.

Can't really rely on such simplistic terms as "good" flavors or "bad" flavors anymore.

At best you can find one flavor and appreciate it, and continue to offer Baskin Robbins enough for them to keep making it for you.

You, personally, can label something "good," but ultimately that label will only have relevance to you and virtually worthless in discussions with anyone else.

At some point you have to realize that "good" flavors never really existed, it was just personal preference among a static choice based on your own normed ritualistic perspective of reality.

Sorry. Complex life means more work and effort from you.

Lots of us are "good," but most of us are also still "defective." One way or another.
