RE: Does There Exist An Emotion That Is Completely Useless That We Should Always Completely Ignore Rather Than Let It Guide Our Choices?

If you have no capacity for jealousy whatsoever, then you will not be motivated to mate guard at all. At a low level, jealousy can have a useful function because it may motivate you to cast suspicion on your mate if there really is something off about their behavior. Fear of one's spouse's reactions (motivated by jealousy) may in some instances motivate oneself to push away from temptation.
Anger is a useful and healthy reaction to one's boundaries being violated. Hatred is prolonged anger. Hatred may motivate a person to take revenge. Some form of payback for wrongdoing against you to instill fear into those who consider the possibility of walking over you can be necessary. But hatred is a very dangerous feeling to be consumed by.
I can see some benefit in the jealousy in that case, however I still think it does far more harm then good and is also easy to leverage - like in the movies :)
hatred is ingrained and is a type of automatic response to stimulus, it stops curiosity.
