Why a uncreate being (God) , the cause of the universe and the life must be a perfect being and can’t be an imperfect or even a evil being, a weak one.

To limit or make doubtful the power, wisdom, goodness, or freedom of God is called imperfect theism.
 
Nicely put, and that’s exactly it.

Finally understanding this (as much as I’m able anyway) is what brought me back to the Church.
 
What are the Catholic critique of Imperfect theism
Catechism
1 God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life.

213 The revelation of the ineffable name “I AM WHO AM” contains then the truth that God alone IS. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and following it the Church’s Tradition, understood the divine name in this sense: God is the fullness of Being and of every perfection, without origin and without end. All creatures receive all that they are and have from him; but he alone is his very being, and he is of himself everything that he is.
 
There is only one God. And He is eternal, and all good.
Study your faith. Beware that the prince of lies will tempt your thought, but do not allow such to permeate your thinking.
