I think Aule is a direct refutation of Melkor. Aule is a creator and praised for it. The only problem with making the dwarves wasn't that he created them but that he did so in direct violation of an edict Eru set down that the Elves were to be the Firstborn. When he repented for not having waited, he was allowed to keep his creations and Eru even adopted them. Aule just had to do so at the right time and place. It wasn't creation that was the issue. It was going against God.

Independence might be okay in some sense but Melkor used his independence to cause destruction and chaos. He couldn't stand that the Valar were doing things he wasn't in control of. He destroyed their initial lamps for no reason. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and they were right in their actions against him. And he too was praised for some of his actions. His cold made lovely snowflakes that Ulmo said he would not have thought of without it (or rain? I'm not sure which is being pointed out here).

I was gonna say this too. Another thing is that IIRC it's said Aule only created the dwarves/ imitated Eru Iluvatar in order to honor Him, whereas Melkor twisted Iluvatar's creations in order to mock God and "create" his own army to overthrow everything or whatever. So there's a straightforward example of creation NOT being a bad thing.
