Please note, if your answer runs along the lines of \\\"he\\\'s the bad guy, so he has to be hiding something\\\" or \\\"he wants to kill Wanda, and she\\\'s good\\\" we\\\'re right back where we started - Designating a Villain.
The real core issue here is not that you or other viewers reject Hayward\\\'s reasoning or suspect his motives. The show is begging you in a hundred different ways to do exactly that. As I said above, I fully expect your (really, our) suspicions to be fully justified in a few episodes at most.
The problem is the protagonists are also acting as if that is a given. There are a dozens of potential in-universe reasons for why Hayward is not sharing every bit of intel with his subordinates that don\\\'t involve him being a mustache-twirling villain. But the protagonists are not interested in that - they want a villain to overcome, and so they immediately start acting out in a manner not remotely consistent with the in-universe information they have on hand.
In-show, they are already operating on the logic of \\\"he\\\'s the bad guy, so he has to be hiding something\\\". Their reactions and reasoning come off more artificial than Wanda\\\'s fake reality.
