It's entirely possible that the gods simply could not remove things from Remnant. As much as the god of darkness hated the life that the god of light made, he didn't outright remove it. Instead, he created things to counter it, things that would destroy it naturally. But life kept coming back. Life was stronger and more persistent than he had anticipated. So, again, he did not outright remove it, and he created the Creatures of Grimm, hoping that the Grimm would destroy it for him with its innate desire to destroy. Maybe they couldn't erase the Grimm.

The god of light called for a truce in creating Humanity together. How would the god of darkness perceive it if the god of light either

A.) Followed that up with creating an anti-Grimm

B.) Asked for the truce after creating an anti-Grimm

Also, stories are actually much better if they don't solve every single mystery in quick succession. Yeah, we, as the viewers, are really curious and want to know the answers, but that doesn't mean that the show should just throw them at us and then continue the story with no mysteries left! Mystery is part of the intrigue!

They've apparently searched for Salem before but failed to find her, for whatever reasons. And it's possible that not all Grimm spawn in Salem's domain. Otherwise, it really would've been easy to find her. Just follow what central point they all seem to be coming from and all that.

How are the Maidens and the SEWs breaking the rules? If you're talking about magic, 'Monty never said there's no'' magic in Remnant. He said Dust is not magic.''' The characters just say "magic without Dust" to make a point to other people "These guys have powers, but they don't need Dust to do it."
