Evil- The Definition
When I use the word "evil" I am referring to any act which intentionally harms an innocent person. By "innocent" I mean someone who does not deserve to be harmed at this moment. No one is "innocent" all the time, nor is anyone never "innocent". All you can do is judge their innocence or guilt at this moment.

Interesting perspective. I like how you create your own dictionary or definitionary. What or how would you propose greed to mean.
I think "greed" is basically "self-interest with regard to physical things". This is not bad in any way, no matter what some people may believe.
However, when you twist that "self-interest with regard to physical things" to where you value it enough to steal, defraud, and/or murder, then that is where you did the evil act- the greed itself isn't evil.
Everyone is greedy- even those who do altruistic things- otherwise they wouldn't survive. It's how you express that greed that can be the problem.
