Charles is well written character that is a very fitting antagonist.
However, there is even less reasons to excuse him than Suzaku. Suzaku is naïve idiot driven by his life saving values and his guilt.
Charles not only treats people like chess pieces and willing to sacrifice them for personal gain (same as Schneizel and Lelouch), but even his ideology is human hating. He just lets the jungle law play out without interfering at all. He does not care to save or protect even his children or wife. Not only that he does not interfere, but he also actually believes that those who are weaker deserve to lose, suffer and die.
In contrast Lelouch actually wants to make world a better, nicer and gentler place. He may be uses people like chess pieces and lied that he does it for Nunnally. However, he wants to see world being better then what he saw growing up. To make sure the same cruelty will not repeat itself. He is doing if for himself may be, but also for all other people out there. They all will benefit from it.
