Hate is a protective emotion .
It has a reason and function.
It has a social protective function. When that hate is aimed at a genuine threat to you or others social well being.
I hate without shame, I express hate in a sane way and hate until I don't need to hate anymore. It works it's way out of my system it cleanses me. When I am done hating I don't hate the person's who abused or injured me anymore. Because I was honest about how I felt about them with myself and didn't guilt myself tell myself I was evil for feeling it or pretend I didn't feel what I felt.
I don't believe in karma and I don't think the universe gives a shit what happens in the chaos that exists on this planet.
But evolution exists,apparently and if hate was as awful as you claim it would have been deselected if it interfered with our survival.
Hate of a race or other abstract thing or whatever else impersonal that hasn't abused you caused you crisis or killed someone you love is toxic hate.
That kind of hate is irrational ,that kind hate can do harm if it's socially reinforced.
