I can't remember a canon statement saying LV wants to destroy the world. He wants to destroy the existing order, but only to construct a new one 
- his own. He isn't evil just for the sake of it, he has goals.

Also, look at how he treats the DEs - he's kind of nice to them. He forgives them for abandoning him, only asking for "thirteen years' 
repayment". After all we'd had been told about him before the end of GoF, one could have expected him to slay the "traitors" outright. LV doesn't 
rule by power and fear alone, he isn't insame. He rewards those who are faithful to him, like the Lestranges. Crouch Jr. perceives him as a 
father figure, which would be impossible if Voldy was only cruel. He's not looking for a world of ashes, but for HIS world.
