The term good, by your description, describes something real and natural. Again by your description, X being “real and natural” is required for being able to think of X.
How does any of this reject the statement that “There is no point in eventspace that has the natural ‘Good’ property”? (which I infer to be the intended meaning of the statement you can “fundamentally wrong”)
That some event, decision, action, thing, X is “good” is a property of the mind, of the map. If there is a Red-Nosed Wiggin in front of you, and knowledge of this fact rates as +2 on your utility function, this is a property of your utility function, not of the Red-Nosed Wiggin or of the spacetime field “in front of you”.
With my understanding of proper or common usage of the term “good”, there is no case where “good” is an inherent property of the territory that is unbreakable, unviolable, and definitely belongs to the territory itself, such that no map could ever model this as “not good” without being testably and verifiably wrong.

Perhaps you should read (or re-read more carefully) the A Human’s Guide to Words sequence.
