Of course death isn't inherently evil. Israel wasn't longing for the day when their enemies were destroyed because death was inherently bad! But that doesn't mean it is inherently good either. It is just death. The meaning of a particular instance of death comes from elsewhere. For instance:
"Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his saints." (Psa 116:15)
