Why exactly is Satan bad?

Perhaps because he conned God into screwing with Job?
He steals, kills and destroys. He is a murderer and the father of lies. Among other things.

Satan and his devils and demons do exists. Well, at least his devils and demons.
My life was in the hands of a powerful satanical-demon once, who I destroyed in the end, barely.
I have been attacked by demons and jinns (dark-spirits at least 20 times, 2 major.
But as I walk through the dark valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thy are with me. ♡

It is said that God created everything, and this is found in Genesis, describing the story of Creation
Question: Where in Genesis is said "God created Satan?"
What is the evidence of that?

That's what the word Satan means (enemy adversary opposer) Satan is an office not an entity. According to Wikipedia the first reference to satan occurs in Numbers 22:22"Balaam's departure aroused the wrath of Elohim, and the Angel of Yahweh stood in the road as a satan against him."
From the same source of information where you get that there is a Satan. Are you looking for scriptures?
I don't believe there is a Satan so I'm not sure what to make of the first sentence.
I'm looking for you to provide evidence of your claim that Satan murders, destroys and lies.

But hasn't god done the same, albeit on a vastly greater scale?

Satan is largely a derivative character; an amalgamation of earlier figures.
The OP isn’t about whether one believes there is a Satan or not. Start a different thread?

What if Satan's rebellion wasn't much different from American revolutionary war; a fight against tyranny in the name of liberty? Of course the victors write the history.
Difference is terms and application like unto “killing” vs. “murdering"
I think Satan tried but was unsuccessful
I'm asking you for evidence of your claim that you made in this thread. I didn't at any time ask for evidence of Satan.
At this point I'm happy to conclude that your avoiding tactics mean you don't have any.

Another example is the Satan who provoked David to number Israel:
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
1 Chronicles 21:1
And again the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel 24:1

But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
John 15:25
Exactly what an evil character would say to fool believers.
