I think it's hard to argue in Kaathe's defense when his Darkwraith covenant invades the worlds of humans to kill them and steal their humanity. My take is that Kaathe and the other Primordial Serpents (barring maybe Frampt, who would be forced to serve the Dark Lord anyway if the First Flame wasn't lit again) want to gather humanity, the shards of the Dark Soul, to reform the Dark Soul again for their own ends (possibly even having been involved in its origin) rather than for the well-being of humans. It seems that humans in Dark Souls (the first of which being the Furtive Pygmy, a "pygmy" among the other gods) are a cursed race (likely an offshoot of the gods) destined to bring death and destruction because they are born of the Dark Soul and the Abyss (home of the primordial serpents?) follows with them. In contrast to Kaathe and his serpents, the gods appear to be ambivalent towards humans, sometimes even helping them, and many of the Covenants aligned to the gods are helpful to humans. Of course, I don't think any one race in Dark Souls is entirely benevolent.
