How well do you know God or understand His actions?
Habakkuk pleads with God to save Judah from their wickedness, and God sends the Babylonians as judgement.

This is not nice, or friendly. In the soup of degredation and sin that we humans live in, anything that happens you could argue is just. Many christians would say, but what about the innocent children, the people who do not choose a way of life but are born into it. This is where communities have a community responsibility. It is expressed in the law as God not visiting judgment for sin to the 3rd generation.
Take David, a righteous king who also murdered Uriah the Hittite. David also snuk out and wipped out philistine villages when he was faking fighting for the philistines.
So I am saying to you God is pure, holy and good, but much of how this world is made and works causes us great confusion and doubt.
Bring this personal to home, pancriatic cancer, very painful, very difficult to treat. I know of a few good christian people who have gone through this, and it is very hard. It would be easy to say this pain should not happen because this burden could easily be lifted by God. Now we say these ideas, but we have no clue how true or otherwise this idea is.

if God did evil, he sinned, if he sinned, He can not send satan to hell because satan sinned also. And his whole plan to stop rebellion of his creation has failed miserably.
The problem is if you do one action in the world which is related to action and reaction, you have to be consistent throughout creation. Only one place where this consistency will be obvious, judgement day. Before that there is only gifts of grace, we do not earn, but the Lord chooses to provide.
Why do I say all this? Because too many people want to box up ideas, and not get personal.
God in a sense in the garden was hiding something from Adam, knowledge, but with that knowledge came death.
I trust God with my whole life, but also I know He is just, holy and completely other, so I need to learn and follow Jesus to make sense of it all.
You appear to me to be fixated on ideas that blind you from the obvious.

Adam did not need to know evil to know how to survive or realise God took care of him.
