I don't think Lelouch would be 'The Bad Guy' if Charles turned out semi-OKAY.
Actually, it still wouldn't matter if Charles had what he thought were Good Intentions, because he's hurt too many people to get where he is. So we'd see it as perfectly fine for Lelouch to stop this man.
But, the same goes for Lelouch. He's hurt countless just because he wants his old life back. And now just because he's lost everything. When he kills Charles, we'll be able to easily justify it because we've seen his entire story - he's redeemable in our eyes because we know him.
Imagine if Code Geass was about Charles, and then suddenly some brat comes along and tried to ruin is plans of a 'great, happy world with no lies.'
