There are so many things we don't understand about the universe and the fact that I know I won't be around to know them is very frustrating.
Of course, you are "allowed" to be upset; who could stop you if that is your choice? You may choose to be upset and then die, instead of choosing to not be upset and then die. It is your life, and you may be as upset as you wish.
