None of those things he said justifies what he's done. When Harry talks to Tessa about Marks he gives a long list of people and operations that Marks wrecked, all for money. Harry went after him in the first place because his actions were costing other officers their lives.

I disagree about his motive -- I think it was revenge, against the service which created him and then tried to punish him. Johnny Marks is a cautionary tale about what happens when you try to morph a human being into pieces (legends) and then neglect to reassemble him.
