The lack of foresight of the Valar (Manwë) had terrible consequences for the Elves and ME in general.

Yes, this is very true. As a matter of fact I once went through a rather lengthy thread arguing this very point.
However...
It does not excuse Feanor from doing the wrong thing. He still defied the divine authorities that were placed above him, advocated and then took part in the killing of his own kind, abandoned the majority of his people in a wilderness, and then at the end when he saw that this cause would fail he still urged his sons on in pursuit of this mad goal.
These were all his own decisions that led to much suffering on the part of the Elves.
