It is never irrational to do what is right. That's the point. That's one of the features of morality that needs to be explained. Deny it and it is hard to see how you're any different to a moral nihiilist.

Well, good. But if morality exists you have reason to do as morality bids even if you don't want to. So even if you really hate others and want to hurt them you have reason not to if morality says not to.

Well, no it can't and I've shown why umpteen times. But assert something enough and it'll become true.
