I know that algae reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere & makes more oxygen than trees. I am aware that there are some species that are allergic to algae and will die in it, but as an overall whole how good/bad would it be if we just let algae take over the Great Lakes.

Very bad. An algae bloom will have algae washing up on shore and rotting. In addition it can kill fish and invertibrates. The great lakes are very pure water and you would have to add a bunch of organic matter to make algae grow abundantly and that would contaminate a measurable percentage of the fresh water in the world.
