Like any tool the Elder Wand can be used as a weapon, but it can be used in an infinite number of other ways too. And like any valuable and unique object some people would be willing to kill to possess it, but that doesn't mean you should destroy all wonderful objects in the world. And historically most of the murders you talk about were not committed with the Elder Wand; they were committed with other wands by people who wanted to steal it.  

If I had a piece of paper on which was written the secret of how to cure cancer I'm sure there are people, lots of people, willing to murder for the fame and glory possessing that paper would engender. But that doesn't mean that the moral thing for me to do is immediately burn the paper to ashes and forget about the dream of curing cancer.
