Why is free will good?

When answering the problem of evil, a lot of theists say that one of the reasons why evil caused by humans exists, is that God wanted us to have free will. That seems like a silly answer to me. 

Our society has no trouble recognizing that free will is good, but not so good that we allow people to use their free will to kill others. The life of a person is worth more than the free will of a murderer. Yet God would make the opposite call? If we are to take God as an example of perfect morality, why shouldn't we just let everyone kill whomever they want because we are respecting their free will?

Furthermore, personally, I just don't see what's so good about free will. I'd much rather live in a society where everyone was morally infalible and no one suffered because of others, than have free will. If there is a God, this seems like a much preferable option than giving us free will.

What are some answers to this dilemma?

The typical significance of saying that we have free will is recognizing that God does not coercively govern our behavior. So when we choose to murder, the analysis is not the one you've given, where we infer that God must think it's best that we murder, but rather the inference is meant to be that the murder wasn't something God chose, it was something we chose -- we're able to chose things God wouldn't, because he doesn't coercively govern our behavior, i.e. because we have free will.
