Pesach

Shemos 26,5- Rashi- Arami Oved Avi is being Mazkir Chasdei Hamakom (remembering the kindnesses of Hashem)........ And because he planned to do (to eradicate all Klal Yirael), Hashem considered it as if he had (eradicated Klal Yisrael)... I understand that we want to write it as if Lavan had destroyed Klal Yisrael, but here is totally not the time and place to be doing that! The purpose of Arami Oved Avi is to remember the kindness of Hashem. If so, why do we phrase it as though Lavan had actually killed us? That's completely antithetical to the whole purpose of the passuk, because now it reads that Hashem did us absolutely no favor!
