How? I gave up my free will for evil things to disappear. The stuff you listed isn't evil, that wouldn't disappear.

That's not how it works. You can't just get rid of the thing that created other things and expect those other things to still exist, because you want them to.  

For example, you can't say bears are mean.  Let's imagine a world with no bears.  You can't just say "well, we'll still have the fur coats made from the bears, because those aren't mean."

If you get rid of free will, you have to get rid of everything we have because of it.  Not just the nasty stuff.  

But things are still very much possible, it just wouldn't be due to free will. If I gave up my free will, I'd become a robot but a robot can still very much do things and because evil has been banished, I'd only be able to do good things. What those good things are wouldn't be up to me but they'd still be there.
