To be fair, throughout the dragon ball franchise, they do try and stress that while Goku has morals, he is not a hero - his main goal is just to fight the strongest beings he can find, and win.
If Cell and Frieza weren’t direct threats to his family, Goku would 100% have let them get stronger so he had more sparring partners.
Hell, in one of the series (can’t remember if it was non-cannon GT or not) he straight up trains Uub, Buu’s non-evil reincarnation.

Goku would bring the ring to Mordor on foot, take the whole season, then straight away give it to Sauron. They will fight, Goku would lose, then Sauron would kill Krilin and Goku would defeat Sauron.
The end.
