Being is intrinsically good. The concept of goodness is relative to a thing's intrinsic nature of trying to continue to exist. Pleasure and pain are increasing your being and decreasing your being - becoming stronger and becoming weaker. Why do think being sick sucks and nutting, or which is essential to the act of reproduction feels good? Or why healthy people are beautiful and unhealthy people aren't beautiful? Or why romantic love itself is so connected to the urge to reproduce? It's privation that's bad. Complete non being isn't pain though, it's just non existence. Existence isn't in itself bad, quite the opposite, but being a limited being necessarily involves pain because some things make you physically and mentally weaker by chance or by your own doing.
So anti-natalism and suicidal thoughts, by trying to eliminate the suffering, only increase it, when the way to happiness and pleasure exists for those patient and willing to put in the effort.
