I am not anti-Masonic because of what you mention about the founders, whom I see as visionary human beings ahead of their time.
Power is power, and spiritual power is the greatest power. The power of words, of intention, of money--all of them can be abused. This makes people afraid of power but I would rather focus on developing the part of me that can learn to handle power wisely, rather than demonize that power. Learning to be responsible, fair-minded, patient, and generous enables me or anyone to become appropriately empowered.
Not necessary to obsess over dark symbols or any of the rest of it. Instead transmute the darkness within and it becomes a springboard to growth.
