The opening only states that humans were born from Dust and the Grimm turned their sights on them; it is never actually said that Grimm were born even remotely around the same time and could have been around for centuries for all we know.

Anyway I don't think the Grimm are pure evil because they don't realize what they are going is bad. If for example a person is in the ocean and a shark bites them, it doesn't make the shark evil; the shark is just following instincts. The Grimm seem only a step above animals and are simply following their instincts, meaning they can't really be evil and humans only view them as evil. Also according to Blake, nothing is pure evil (foreshadowing?).
