Crowley is only evil in the sense that he’s an agent of Hell, and thus on the side of evil. But unlike humans, he can’t choose not to be evil, and can’t be judged for it. But he isn’t cruel or sadistic, and is in fact far more compassionate than the Archangel Gabriel, for example. It’s kind of the entire point of his character.

And if Crowley is evil only in the sense that he's an agent of hell, then the word "evil" doesn't even mean anything, does it? I mean, if you can take any arbitrary set of actions and call them "evil" simply because the person carrying them out happens to be an agent of hell, then why even have the word "evil" in the first place?

In Good Omens, "good" and "evil" are pretty meaningless for angels and demons, individually speaking. It’s just a job description, not a reflection of their personalities - though some demons are actually nasty individuals too. Humans are the ones who have a choice between the two, and they are where true good and true evil are found.

There's also the fact that Crowley doesn't even seem all that strongly ideologically aligned with hell to begin with, beyond just not wanting the Apocalypse to happen. He never appears to be looking for redemption, but repeatedly makes statements about how he hadn't meant to fall, just hung out with the wrong people/asked too many questions/got bored, etc. In the Garden of Eden, he expresses doubt that tempting Eve to eat the apple was the wrong thing to do ("A demon could get into a lot of trouble for doing the right thing.") He takes delight in his schemes to cause large-scale irritation but doesn't seem to care about corrupting souls and is really not keen on actual human suffering.
