Why did Shakespeare make Richard III evil to please Queen Elizabeth?

Because Richard III fought a battle with Elizabeth's grandfather, Henry Tudor, in which Richard was killed (the Battle of Bosworth) and Henry took the crown as Henry VII. Richard was supposed to have been responsible for murdering the boy King Edward V and his little brother - the so-called Princes In The Tower. (Young Edward and his brother were the brothers of Elizabeth of York, Henry VII's wife). Therefore the Tudors hated Richard III and would be pleased with any Propaganda against him. Shakespeare's play Richard III, helped to give Richard a bad name!

How did Shakespeare aim to please elizabeth?
The only people Shakespeare aimed to please were the people who paid his company money to see his plays performed. This meant thousands of people every day. Some of them may have been called Elizabeth. Shakespeare did not write anything for Queen Elizabeth I. His company did perform at court once or twice, but they performed plays which were already tried and tested on the public stage. Court performances were not the bread-and-butter of the company; the performances on the public stage were. Nor was Queen Elizabeth even the patron of Shakespeare's company (you can tell from their name that The Lord Chamberlain was). She was patron of the Queen's Men, for whom Shakespeare never wrote a word. In short, Shakespeare's relationship with Queen Elizabeth was negligible and quite irrelevant to his career and to hers. You might think about it this way: the Beatles performed Please Please Me for HM Queen Elizabeth II but it would be ridiculous to infer from that that they wrote the song for her benefit.
