You can rationalize it all you like - and in fact, I agree with you on the point that no wrong was done.
However, it's still a lie. The question before us is "Is it wrong to lie in some circumstances?" not "Is a lie always a lie?". The answer to the first question is debatable. The answer to the second is yes.
