None, we need all living forms of life on mother earth, killing off certain species causes imbalances which only harm our environment.
 
Well, other folks have already made mosquitos extinct, and I'm too tired to check all the other answers, so, I'll pick:

Roaches.

That or RIAA.

Humans treat nature as nothing more than a resource to be exploited, a philosophy that is slowly destroying the planet as we know it. Earth would be better off without us.

Name any living thing that does not do this please? Every form of life on this planet, be it plant, animal, bacteria etc treat "nature" as a resource to be exploited.
 
All cells have a cell membrane. Only plants and fungi and some bacteria have a cell wall.

A virus being alive depends on your definition of life. Most scientists would say a virus is not alive as most do not metabolize (convert something into energy for themselves), or reproduce on their own.. rather they use another cell's machinery to accomplish this.

Virus == bad? Hardly, their infectious nature and ability to transfer genetic material between cells are a couple of the main pillars upon which early evolution developed. There are thousands of genes that are shared between a number of species and virii.

The key words were "as nothing more than a resource to be exploited". Of course the earth serves as a resource for everything on it. I've yet to see regular shipments of raw materials from UFOs. He meants that most humans do not know their place and treat the earth as plunderers rather than as care takers. i.e. no planning ahead, no concern for anything else but us, mismanagement. If earth were a company, we would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
