There are some flaws to this though.

1. As you said, those are SOME of the uses of the magic of the high priestesses. She was also seen healing Merlin in 4x06, so there are good uses obviously. As Merlin said, magic is not evil.

2. Morgana is an extinct species, the last high priestess of the triple goddess. In order to ensure she would get on the throne to protect her people's rights, surely she would use whatever method she had up her sleeve to achieve that.

3. Morgana is destined to bring back the old ways, not the old religion. If you rewatch Lancelot du Lac, you'll see for yourself. The magic Alice used, which used to be for healing purposes, was part of those old ways.
