If Morgana was a great queen, then the audience would not care about who stays on the throne (Arthur or Morgana) or maybe Arthur would give up too, since he would see that his kingdom was in no danger under his sister's rule. By making her a ruthless and cold person who would kill hundreds of men to have her way, Arthur's taking Camelot back becomes important because he saves his people from tyrrany. I think the writers make Morgana more evil than she's supposed to be whenever she's on the throne just to show her difference from Arthur and that he has a reason to claim the kingdom back.
