You seem to be overlooking several facts including some Xenopolitical ones. The main thing that negates your theory that Guardians are the "bad" guys is the human population fights as guardians. Its their home turf. At least Earth is, the Vex may have been native to Venus but they are machines and its unknown if they were built and had been planted on Venus, and possibly Mars or were they built by a race that had lived on Mars or Venus long ago before those planets lost the ability to support life and returned after the traveler restored the ability for complex life to inhabit these worlds again.

Either way the Vex, Cabal, Fallen, and Hive are invaders. They invaded worlds that were once abandoned and terraformed and settled by Earth with the help of the traveler. Another issue is all of the enemies are a collectivist society beyond just a political structure, they are more like ants or worker bees. Their goal is to subjugate and take. The Guardians are trying to maintain what little lands and freedoms they hold. You see civilians in the tower, there are no civilians in the lands held by the hive, vex, or the fallen. Now if only we could design and build our own ships for this game and use them in space combat.
