I'd have to say no. To me, while he seems very evil, he seems like a standard villain in the movie franchise to me. Other villains like Thanos, Red Skull, Ego, Ronan, Hela, and Dormammu outclass him easy. Even Ultron, who can't be considered pure evil, is worse because he wanted to exterminate all of humanity, not just a fraction. In a sense Ultron wanted to save the Earth from humanity while Pierce wanted to create a utopia for humanity no matter how much blood was spilled. Bottom line, Pierce had a good dream built on evil intentions.

And before anyone brings up Thanos, Thanos wanted to wipe out half the universe to prove he was right and be celebrated as a hero to a "grateful universe". After that failed, he decided to wipe out everything and remake the universe setting himself up as a god the universe would worship. Put simply, he wanted recognition not salvation. There is no evidence Pierce wasn't being sincere in his dream to built a utopia for humanity, he even turned down a nobel peace prize, citing peace is something you continually strive for. Don't get me wrong, he was just plain nuts in how he wanted to achieve peace, but still.
