The ones that are objectively bad: congenital heart defects caused by genetic factors, mental illnesses caused by genetic factors, etc..

Even in those cases the line is difficult to draw. For example, thalassemia is definitely bad, but in heterozygous individuals talassemia-codifying genes can offer protection from malaria.
