1. we don't know how a piece of research will be used because we don't even know what the outcome will be.

2. rarely is a piece of research only used for 1 thing, and even if someone uses it wrongly, maybe someone else uses it for good purpose or builds on it for an important discovery.

3. the correct answer is to address the person attempting to abuse the data when that person does it not to attempt to suppress that information by preventing the research or limiting how it's done.

4. are you saying we shouldn't do research on e.g. whether certain groups are better at lifting because it could be abused?
