P1. Doing good to someone requires fulfilling their need when they themselves cant fulfill it.
P2. Evil means someone has a need which isnt fulfilled
P3. "Fulfilling someone's need" requires that someone has a need which isnt fulfilled
P4. "Fulfilling someone's need" requires existence of evil
P5. Doing good to someone requires fulfilling someone's need, thus requires existence of evil.
Consider this scenario. If no one needed any money, you wouldnt be able to help anyone financially. If no one needed food, you wouldnt be able to feed anyone. If no one was in lack of love, you wouldnt be able to give love to anyone.
this remains true, that a lack of good is a condition for good to be provided in the first place. If God provided all good to all, no person could provide good to each other because no one would need any good from each other.
