Explanation

In this sentence, 'the bad' means 'bad things' or 'bad people'. When an adjective functions like a noun (referring to a group or category), it's called a substantive adjective. Here 'bad' stands alone as the object of 'have' and refers to bad things in general, so it functions as a noun.
