Is min-maxing the root of all evil?
No. Much like the verse you are referencing - money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is the root of all evil - it is not min-maxing, but the love of min-maxing that is the problem. There is a world of difference.
Bear with me.
If you take nothing but feats and skills and features designed to make you better in combat, it isn't a problem. It's only when that becomes the be-all and end-all of the game that it becomes a problem.
Spoiler:
The same applies to the verse - to most "rich" people, money is simply an economic necessity, and having more of it simply makes life easier. Most of them don't gloat over their wealth, nor do they tend to get it through greed, cheating people, and any of the other number of ridiculous acusations thrown at them by the MSM.
