grumble grumble...

Look, I'm not pro-"Kill All Humans", but I don't think that last step is correct.

Bob can prefer that the human race die off and the earth spin uninhabited forever. It makes him evil, but there's no "logic error" in that, any more than there is in Al's preference that humanity spread out throughout the stars. They both envision future states and take actions that they believe will cause those states.
