Game theory has an objection, your honor!

Some kinds of mores are more cooperative, and some are more destructive, and especially self-destructive. The good is usually associated with more cooperative and mutually supportive traits, and evil, with destructive. The good usually prevails in the long term because cooperation is more efficient than destruction.

So yes, there are objective correlates in good and evil traits, even though they are rather statistical than unequivocally causal.
