A colorless volatile flammable liquid that is intoxicating isn't bad for you?! 
No. It can be medicinal. It 'can' be good for you. Lot's of things have the potential to harm you, that doesn't make them 'bad'.

Why not? 
Because you'd have to redefine love, or add in conditionals like excess or obsession which when added to love, make for something undesirable.

Methinks you mix up the two. Anger mishandled can lead to excess. Again we're having to add a qualifier. The saying : "Don't go sleep on your anger" illustrates the potential for anger to turn into what is really bad : hatred.
