Platypuses are not even remotely harmful to the environment. They are perfectly suited to the niche in which they live.
Although they dig burrows, they are just above the waterline and do not cause erosion. Unlike beavers, platypuses do not make dams, so they do not affect watercourses. Their primary food sources include worms, insect larvae, and freshwater shrimp. Even when they dig these up from the bottom of the river or creek where they dive and hunt for food, their impact is minimal.

What relationship does man have with a platypus?
Man has a minimal relationship with platypuses. Platypuses are shy animals which avoid contact with humans as much as possible. Humans have had considerable impact on platypuses in the past, such as killing platypuses for their fur, or using fishing nets in rivers which caused entangled platypuses to drown as they could not come to the surface to breathe. However, now the platypus is a protected native species. They are elusive creatures, rarely even studied by scientists, as research can be too intrusive in their environment.
