The wizarding community has had many dark wizards from the beginning of the wizarding community to later days. The latest dark wizard was he-who-must-not-be-named. He and his followers have killed hundreds of witches and wizards, they have also tortured hundreds of people, they have gone as far as to killing muggles who have nothing to do with are community of wizards and witches. I'm sure the ministry does not want an other dark wizard/witch to rise to power and split apart families.
Secondly in this past years the wizarding community as
I have mentioned before is important to stay safe and what better way than making the dark arts illegal? We do not want a random wizard or witch to come cursing are families. I'm pretty sure you don't wand to end with a missing left ear like George Weasley did.
And there have been so many creations of curses in the years that the ministry can't make them all illegal so it is much easier if the ministry simply made all the dark arts illegal. Not only will all the curses get banned but also this will stop from new curses in getting invented for later use.
I do not of course suggest that they should make jinxes which are just fun and hardly dark illegal just the really hard core curses like the invention of more killing curses. Also I realize that if someone is determined to use the dark arts and become a second dark lord they will not stop just because the law says so.
