Emotions are not value judgments themselves. This so-called highly intelligent skeptic you quote is overrated and the quote is a non-sequitur. Humans don't act out their anger in the example you give because they have the willpower and rationality to avoid doing so. To conclude that 'therefore emotions themselves are value judgments' is just a nonsensical non-sequitur just like your conclusion that you have common sense 'therefore emotions are intrinsically good and bad logically entails that time is more important than intensity'. It's a pity you still make non-sequitur upon non-sequitur upon non-sequitur upon non-sequitur over and over and over.
Emotions are constrained by value judgments that are made with the non-emotional rationality. Emotions themselves are not value judgments.
