Your arguments up to this point have consisted of 'the rules say alignment exists, so good and evil are definitive.' So, in that mindset, you can't have the expressed opinion within a D&D game. Same with my 'the souls of all children' example. Without abandoning 'good is right and evil is wrong in D&D' you have no other options.
