Obviously you don't understand what an antagonist is. An antagonist is someone who goes against the protagonist. The protagonist is the focus of the work. Walter White is the protagonist because he is the character the series focuses on. That does not mean he is good. That does not mean he is bad. Being the protagonist has no affect on his affiliation. He is a villain because of what he does. If Mr. Freeze was the focus of the series and Batman wasn't, Batman would be the antagonist and Mr. Freeze would be the protagonist, despite still being a villain (or an 'anti-hero', as Piet so eloquently puts it). There is not "technically" about it. He's not a hero. He's a villain.
