People have successfully used 'Ogre' to translate the word 'Oni' before. Although seeing how we're dealing with small girls it feels like that doesn't really apply either.. Why not just stick to 'Oni'?

Because not everyone understands what "oni" means. Demon is simply a generic term that encompasses what an oni is.
As far as good or evil, Rem and Ram are about as evil as Goz and Mez from Dragon Ball. Keep in mind that while they did appear "good", they still reside in hell.
