He secured Sinbad's support for his cause of toppling the Kou empire that's backed up by the evil global organization al Thamen. His own, personal motivation might be revenge, but it'd be 100% idiotic to say that good things born out of the actions of a person motivated by revenge would be automatically stupid and bad. Humans wouldn't even have the emotion of vengeance if they didn't care for justice and fairness.

Hakuryuu slaying Madaura right then and there was the best thing that could have happened, for three reasons: It freed the children from her "protection", forcing them to either give up living or make a life for themselves (Alibaba bettered the chances of the latter); it assured Madaura indeed did die for her sins and isn't taken somewhere by shady government officials for underground deals; and lastly it meant the beggars of the city didn't have to become murderers in front of the children. The kids would be free to hate Hakuryuu all they wanted, if they wanted, not the beggars who were their own community before the pirates snatched them away.

Like I said before, Hakuryuu is an extreme realistic next to the foolish idealist Alibaba and the newbie Aladdin, who's too green to try to make a difference. Hakuryuu doesn't believe everybody can be happy, so he's out to make sure in the end the right people will be happy, the rest preferably dead or banished.
