Evil is a pretty strong word, don't you think?
Hamazura never tried to justify anyone's crimes but the reality is that not everyone is the same. I wouldn't compare Gensei with some underling who just drives cars.

Meanwhile, here we have Takitsubo who was the one aiming the murderers with pinpoint accuracy at their victims, while Kinuhata and Mugino did the stomping and the killing, of which by the way, Hamazura actively got rid of the evidence himself, but he felt bad that one time so I guess he's been redeemed.

Again, he literally said nothing about himself or anybody else being redeemed. He said Kinuhata and Takitsubo are not as bad as some of the worst people in the dark side, which is actually true.
They certainly don't deserve to get executed by Anti-Skill instead of being arrested.

There's also the fact that to work for the dark side you not only have to know about all of the heinous disgusting shit going on and that are being done by the people you work for and help, but also you have to actively ignore it and let it happen.

That's quite a leap when we know Aleister was deliberately parceling out information to them piecemeal so no one knew everything.
