Can you honestly look at the actions of a person like - Hitler - and NOT believe in evil?

Certainly.
I believe in good.
Try to define "good" without using its opposite.
God created light by separating the dark from it.
God creates good by separating evil.
Darkness is the absence of light.
Evil is the absence of good.
Isaiah 45:6
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Do you actually believe in good?
Good and evil are extremely old perceptions, nothing is evil and nothing is good. They are only used as justifications for shameful causes.
Bah! killing is evil, well what if you shot someone who was going to kill a child, supposedly you wouldn't get arrested because you were protecting an 'innocent' life, evil guy was going to kill a baby, good guy saved baby.
Reality? You shot him before he shot someone else.
Shortened one life to lengthen another, truth of the matter is you murdered someone it shouldn't matter why and you shouldn't use pointless justifications such as good and evil to make your mind at rest.

I believe that negativity exists (according to ones standards of it) but I don't believe in absolute negativity or absolute evil.

Of course. Hatred, greed, and envy are all evil. The more you feed these evil things in yourself, the more you will begin to do evil things.

Isn't evil merely the absence of goodness?

No such thing as good or evil, just the consequences of actions and their effects as harmful or beneficial.

Evil is defined by your moral stand point. I have morals so yes.
If you meant Satan evil, no. Miroslav Satan is just a hockey player.
