I would argue it's universally good to instill your values in your kids even if those values are wrong.
If you instill no values (which isn't really possible), your kids are at the mercy of anyone with a self-serving worldview and a silver tongue. If they have no idea of right or wrong (or even the idea that such things exist) they have nothing to move towards or away from and will sit ineffectually until someone grabs them.
If you instill bad values, your kid will realize that they just don't work once they're out on their own. Even though they'll have to build their own moral framework, they'll at least know one set of ideas that is definitely wrong and why.
If you instill good values, you kid will be able to properly interact with the world and have proper goals to pursue, giving them a good start in adulthood.
