The premise of Tor is exactly that you need not trust any of the nodes. The only exception being, all of the nodes in your path being controlled by the same entity. But an exit node knowing that an anonymous user has an encrypted connection to a specific site is usually not a privacy concern.

If the website you are accessing is unencrypted then the exit node knows the entirety of your communication with it. (It doesn't know your IP; but small consolation. You're still vulnerable e.g. to injection.)
