That argument applies to evil powered beings too. If you are unable to recognize a disservice, you also have no way to know when an act is a service or a disservice. The consequence of this is that you can't criticize God's actions on the grounds that they seem evil to humans--but you can't praise them on the grounds that they seem good to humans, either. Maybe he's really evil, wants to harm us, and you just don't understand how what he does goes against your interests.
