Good and evil are unquantifiable abstracts, not absolutes.

Poor excuse. Yoda was toying with him as a demonstration of his superiority. Dooku got the message and fled as soon as he got the chance.
Yoda didn't look too superior struggling to move that random heavy metal object from crushing Obi-Wan and Anakin when it would be easier to pull or push them out of the way and jump back into the fray against Dooku.
Do I think that Dooku is as powerful as Yoda in the Force?Probably not... but I think he's Yoda's equal with a saber.

That's my whole point. Neither Yoda nor Obi-Wan was attempting to kill their opponent, and it's unfair to both of them to assume that because the bad guys ran away like a little girl with a skinned knee, their must be their equals.
It's also unfair to assume that since Dooku and Jango didn't die, that Yoda and Obi-Wan are better. While I can let the Yoda/Dooku fight lie as sterile conjecture, Obi-Wan got rocked pretty hard by Jango's skills as a bounty hunter. Obi-Wan rarely called on he Force to assist him in his fight and when he did it was pretty much for a jump kick, calling his lightsaber back (which failed) and saving his ass from taking a deep sea dive. Jango, without the Force, just whipped him with all sorts of badassness.
