"we" are not doing anything. That is not how language develops. These terms have developed through usage and necessity.
Saying "good vs bad" or "greed Vs empathy" is more confusing because it is worse at describing what actually goes on and the second you need to have any conversation that is actually deeper than a puddle you're fucked. You need the tools to understand the world.Insisting on this childlike idea of communication just ends up taking you several linguistic steps back. At some point you will need to specify "oh it's political and material greed and empathy and actually these words signify these other things" and so on and so forth.
