I think it's about hating evil, rather than seeing the wicked as personal foes

疾恶 means "to hate evil" -- as we see in 疾恶好善.

I think the cedict definition is based on a misunderstanding of a definition of 疾惡如仇 such as M's
憎恨壞人壞事如同仇敵一般。

I think 壞人壞事 here should be understood as "evil" rather than "wicked *people*"
Diff:
- 疾惡如仇 疾恶如仇 [ji2 wu4 ru2 chou2] /hating evil as an enemy (idiom); to hate the wicked as personal foes/
+ 疾惡如仇 疾恶如仇 [ji2 wu4 ru2 chou2] /to hate evil as one hates an enemy (idiom)/
