Bloodbending isn't good or evil as it is neither. It is simply a tool to be used how the bender sees fit. Whether it is used for good or evil depends on how the bender utilizes it and for what purpose. The same is true for just about any bending technique. And it is no more dangerous to someone's health than a fireball, tornado, flying giant rock, or lightning bolt could be for a few examples.

And if bloodbenders were a threat to the Avatar's health, he or she could simply learn to counter it as the Avatar can bend water. Lightning was as Hazardous to Aang as anything. Aang didn't bend lightning, but he learned to counter it because he had to. Otherwise he couldn't have beaten Ozai. Same thing with bloodbending.
