His traditional association with Ragnarok implies a relationship with making something new in the place of what is old, and we see that idea in Thor's view of Fenris as a god who easily gets bored with what's happening now and wants to make something new and interesting. Goblinoids are less his "pet project" and more like that New Year's resolution you try out every January but forget about by the end of February. He has completely understandable motivations, so far as "ooh, shiny!" can be considered a motivation, so there's really no need for a "master plan."
Pretty sure those petty reasons are more than enough reason to label his position as driven by malice even absent a bigger plan, though. Hanlon's Razor seems less relevant than Occam's Razor in this instance.
