Not only that he offered his daughters, but he pulled them inside beforehand, thus willingly involving himself in this. It's not like they rushed into the first house with an unlocked front door, and begged Lot for help.
It's odd, because the angels in the old testament weren't really described as Humans with wings and halos. They were eldritch abominations that had good reason to preface anything they said to Humans with "don't be afraid of me". The idea that angels from Yahweh would be in genuine danger just adds to the wrongness of one of the most good individuals in the town offering his daughters to be raped instead of strangers.
Old testament stories are strange.
