We know that the physical nature of the universe lends itself towards entropy, which will likely ultimately culminate in a universal state of thermodynamic equilibrium without some yet unknown interventional process.

We do know of one process that seriously disrupts the regular procession of entropy: Life. Life adds energy to different parts of it's process to balance entropy as it requires; typically to suit it's primary purpose of propagating. This, defacto, makes life as we know it the counter-ballast or perhaps even the mandatory counter force to thermodynamic entropy on a physical scale. This rationale was used to form an argument that Life may actually be a physical imperative of the universe.

So, would you say it is more "evil" to counter the natural physical inclination of the universe? Or to allow it? Perhaps darkness is the preferred state of the entire system, so is life "evil" for forcefully disrupting this state?

Forget light. Light is just energetic particles ready to be used in other reactions.

Life doesn't disrupt or counter entropy in any way.
On a small scale parts of the system may seem to reverse entropy, but life, or any part of it, isn't a closed system, so you can't look at it in isolation.
Any form of life is using energy to do something, which means overall it is resulting in an increase in the entropy of the universe as a whole.

Life doesn't counteract anything, it's just another step along the path towards the heat death of the universe.
Everything you do takes us 1 tiny bit closer to the end of everything.

Enjoy your day!
