The snippets you pointed out are OT...and NT...but you do not include the context....for example, the one you despise the most....
“Happy is the one who seizes your infants / and dashes them against the rocks.” To “imprecate” means to “pray evil against,” and the imprecatory prayers in the Bible strike people today as strange or wrong. It is important to understand the context of this verse and others like it. The background is the Jewish people calling upon God to exact revenge upon their military enemies.
Context doesn't alter what is said. When the bible tells us that God is responsible for the existence of evil, that is precisely what is meant and intended,
When the bible tells us that God creates evil and the evildoer for the day of evil, that is precisely what is meant and intended.
When the bible tells us that God as the 'Potter' creates vessels 'fitted for destruction,' that is precisely what is meant and intended.
Context does not alter what is written, meant and intended.
Context does not transform what is written, meant and intended into something more palatable for the believer. .
Yes, God created evil. ...
A truly loving god. Messing about with his creations for the heck of it.

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.
