To be fair, in your typical generic action hero story line, the morality of the protagonist isn't usually a key point of contention in the narrative.

If we're just talking about what the directors intended, they clearly meant for Light to be seen as the good guy and Mia the bad guy with how they made Light manage to get everything his way at the end.
The central plot was really just Light vs Mia with L and the other law enforcement meant to be a wake up call how bad Mia was to him.

And about his girlfriend making him do it. As soon as as she gets to know him a little it's "hey watch me kill people I'm cool right?"

To be fair, this was in an active hostage situation, not going after already incarcerated criminals. An obviously good hero would kill him if there was nothing else they could do.
The idea of killing incarcerated criminals was given and goaded by Mia
