UBI is not about "care". That's just the typical left-wing compassion framing.
I don't want to abolish all taxes, I'm not a libertarian. But giving away the money you took from somebody else needs a justification (for example to pay for the roads). And I find "income redistribution" for the sake of it not an acceptable goal.
Why is paying for roads justifiable, but providing people a safety net not justifiable?

Because people don't treat it as a "safety net" and instead use it as a "living net".
There is some contingent of people who will just not participate in society no matter what. So the question becomes where do we set the bar - the lower this bar, the smaller that contingent.
Your morals are very strange if they don't include care for others.
