  • Someone has to play Judas in the play.
  • Who else was mighty enough to restrain the Balrogs from flying around Thangorodrim like bats?
  • As stated, flour comes from milling. Melkor was the millstone.

Sauron:
  • He pumped up the Witch-King in RotK.
  • Sauron started the Werewolf-game madness.
  • Without Annatar, jewelry in Middle Earth just wouldn't be the same - just necklaces and shiny brooches.

And the most probable (and coherent?) reply will be that all that you've stated is one point of view, from the Elves and their lackeys, and we never get to read Melkor's side, as, well, he lost, and to the victors go the publishing rights...
