Answer

Who decided that swear words were bad: The person who used words in an effort to hurt or offend another person.

Not all, but most swear words are, in other situations, just ordinary words. They become swear words in how the person chooses to use words; when the speaker is angry, frustrated, or just mean and ugly. They choose words and put them together in a way designed to hurt or upset the target of those words.

There are some words that are strictly swear words, used only for that purpose. The list is not too long and are universal in many languages. Most of them are related to bodily functions or body parts, and others are gender or ethnic slurs. Apparantly the shortest route to offending is to find an ugly way to compare something or someone to a body part or function or a person's gender or heritage.

Today, we see a greater use of swear words in everyday conversation by people who are not angry or frustrated and not necessarily even mean (ugly, yes). They are used by some as punctuation and color in their conversation; they are used by those who don't have a vocabulary of other adjectives; they are used by people who don't feel that the adjectives that they do know are expressive enough for them. They are used by people who feel that using these words in everyday speaking give them an appearance of savvy. Of course, all of these people are wrong!

Societal norms and cultural attitudes have shaped the perception of swear words as being inappropriate or offensive. Religious beliefs, etiquette standards, and legal restrictions have also influenced the idea that certain words are considered taboo or inappropriate in various contexts.
