My case is that while the other villains do it for some reason or motive, Joker does it just for shits and giggles.

 

Wouldn't that ultimately make him less evil. There is no evil in his plans because they are not thought out, there is no ultimate evil goal achieved.

I think his point is that evil itself is his goal, nothing more or less than the corruption and destruction of everyone he can reach.  It's a misnomer to say he has no goal, his goal is chaos, destruction, and corruption (as he attempted with Gordon and Batman and in the case of the movies succeeded with Harvey Dent).  But other evil villains have some justification for their actions, some motive that, stripped down, may even be admirable.  The Joker doesn't.  The only other option I could see would be someone like Darkseid who is also evil but has more of a structured "destroy the universe and spread evil's reign" thing.  But I would still personally give it to the Joker, because of his nature.
