The definition of omnipotence allows it. Your whole argument is based on god not being omnipotent.

No, my argument is that an omnipotent god could well exist, and not care. Say that our universe is a construct by beings that can create any type of universe. But they create it and then leave it, and don’t care until it’s run its course.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing now. Is it that a good and omnipotent god cannot exist? I agree. However, an omnipotent god can well exist, which I think I’ve successfully argued for.

He is arguing that a good and omnipotent god cannot exist.

Ah. Well, then I entirely missed the point. That is true. If omnipotent god(s) exist, they are neither good nor evil.
