There is nothing wrong with the intention of wanting to save your own race, but the way he went about trying to do it was wrong obviously. I'm not sure why people keep trying to paint him as some tragic anti-hero.
I already explained the snip you made in an above post, so I won't repeat them here. Tl;dr -- It's all a matter of perspective, but from the hero's perspective, his motives are evil. They may be to resurrect his race, but that's at the cost of our worlds and our lives. I did specify that I was speaking from the perspective of the heroes, not Emet-Selch.

I'm not sure either, because he's not a tragic character or an anti-hero. He's an anti-villain. Perhaps it's misunderstandings regarding how these concepts and character types are defined.
