I fully agree with your view on some of them, MANY of them though. I guess we can conclude that the writers of the games and novels did a great job in creating a very nuanced race.
I think parts of the Campaign are designed to make us question if we are the bad guys in all this and if our existence on earth is "Morally correct" by even our own standards.
Why would our existence on Earth be otherwise? If you do not exist, then neither do morals.
The Covenant are definitely the bad guys. They are wiping out an innocent race by the billions for a religion that should not exist, as it is a failure. They are wiping out the race that the Forerunner chose to success them and attempting to take that birthright. They commit sacrilege with the Forerunners technology and [shit] all over the Mantle.
They knew deep down that what they were doing was wrong, it is just that no one had the courage to usurp the Prophets
