God Himself is the reason that heaven is perfection. Heaven is, by definition, existence in the presence and in union with God.
So I think if God were not omnibenevolent, then in turn heaven would not be perfect, and in that case also the button should not be pressed.
And with our human mind we can see that the world is certainly not perfect or even a reflection of perfection. There is too much suffering and anguish for God to create such a thing and still be good. To me, it's painfully obvious [pun intended] that our world is not good, and therefore god is not good.
Whereas heaven is described as a state of perfection when compared to this world. So, of course, it would require that you push the button, even if god isn't perfect. God can be evil and still create a heaven for people to go to. For all we know there could be the good side of god in heaven and the evil on earth.
