It is irrational to put myself in danger to save a baby from the traintracks, does that mean I ought not do it? The moral law in humanity tells us innately we should, and guilt comes when we rest safely and watch the baby expire. There has never a culture existed in which it was noble to run away in battle, rationality be damned.
What is truly invalid is the illogical comparison you made between love and duty to rescue. Neither is dependent on the other.
