Him killing his minions just shows that's he's willing to hurt those he needs to help him, when in reality, the joker doesnt really need a group of minions to pull off the greatest terror plot in Gotham.

Despite TDK being an origins story, there was no origin to the Joker. All the joker was was somebody who wanted to be noticed by society and corrupt Harvey Dent.

As I said, he was far from ruthless and evil incarnate.
And?? You make it sound like being evil only comes in one way. Good and evil aren't usually that black and white. From a lot of the old Batman stuff, he was being chased after by the police for what he did.

What you're saying isn't helping to prove your point at all. Getting someone to kill another person doesn't make you a coward. Not in any definition I've ever read, unless he was afraid to do it all. But that wasn't the case since everyone knew who was trying to get people to kill eachother. If he put his face out there like that, he sure wasn't afraid of getting caught.

Also, technically, by the definition of evil, yes, he is evil.
