Let's start this post from the beginning by discussing a scene from the end: Plainview's kindness towards Eli Sunday.
1) He thanks Eli right after the negotiation with Abel for buying the Sunday ranch.
2) He thanks Eli before the baptism for agreeing to wash Daniel's sins away with the blood of lamb.
3) He politely declines and thanks Eli in the end for offering him a drink.
4) He tells Eli how genuinely sorry he is at Eli's plight at the end of the movie. "I am so sorry!".
5) And finally, he also gives Eli free lessons on oil drainage. In other words, he reveals the truth to Eli, since Daniel is the Third Revelation.
So, all in all, Daniel Plainview isn't all bad, he is a kind messenger of truth.
