I'm not sure what you're saying. I would describe giving to charity as morally good without implying that not giving is morally evil.
I agree that moral goodness is different from hedonic goodness (which I assume means pleasure), but I would describe that by saying that pleasure is good in a certain way, but may or may not be good all things considered, while moral goodness means what is good all things considered.

I'm saying its a bad idea to collapse together the ideas of moral obligation, moral advisability and pleasure.
I agree.
