Many of Nietzsche's friends and his philosophical admirers have tried to shield Nietzsche from the criticism that he is a proto-Nazi, and in fact, it doesn't work, Nietzsche is a proto-Nazi.
There is a strong tinge of racism in his work; there is a strong tinge of refined cruelty in his work.
Insofar as he was misused in the 20th century, by the Nazis and by other racially-oriented hate groups, Nietzsche is at least in part to blame.
Those who like Nietzsche's work, who want to shield it from this criticism, will point out, with considerable justification, that he would have nothing but contempt for the misuse of his work in the 20th century, but it won't entirely absolve him of the results of his statements. Because after all, Nietzsche would have contempt for everybody, whether they adopt his position or not.
Nietzsche, as he puts it beautifully, says "I write in order to be misinterpreted." If we only have a series of misinterpretations of Nietzsche, because he thinks there is no one canonical interpretation, then he should bear the brunt of responsibility for everything, both good and bad that comes out of his work.

Wagner is more to blame for Hitler than Nietzsche.

More good than bad has resulted from the application and misappropriation of His work. Therefore Nietzsche is an objective good even by the dumb argument in your OP. You don't ask the right questions and all you end up with are wrong answers. You will never get what you are looking for here.
