rather than judging a character's spiritual health by the state of their relationships, we could look at whether or not the presence or absence of said attachments impedes the character's ability to live their life and achieve their goals in any way.

When it comes to a fictional character whose state of mind we're not privy to, judging his behaviour in relation to the other characters is pretty much all we have to go on, though, isn't it? Also, if he's emotionally damaged, who is to say that his goals aren't skewed?

When we run into someone who practices detachment philosophy

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. That Hibari is cutting himself from all human contact isn't healthy because humans need emotional bonds to function. That he might choose to spend most of his time on his own is not a problem, but how he handles relationships when he does interact with other people is.

is this kind of psychoanalysis appropriate if the person in question made the conscious choice to be this way, simply because they believe it is the right choice?

Yes. Just because a character is convinced he's right, it doesn't mean that it's true. This is a basic meta tool. Is the character a reliable narrator? How does his mental state influence his choices? What is his inner and outer conflicts? All these things determines his growth throughout the series. Generally the author leaves clues that can be interpreted.

could infer that he's probably aware of his various "bonds"

Really? I'm pretty convinced that he isn't. His rationalizations seems to be both for himself and his surroundings. If I would guess, I'd say that a story arc for him would involve the realization of the value of emotion.

I'm not really sure what it is about this image song that's supposed to prove he doesn't understand love

The name of the song is "Lonely fate" (Hitoribochi no sadame), and part of the lyrics are:

"Something like love, I don't know what it is
I don't know how to love
An eternal lonely fate"

I'd say he sounds a bit regretful.

Does that mean he's incapable of it?

No, and that's pretty much my point; he needs to learn how to do it. And I don't mean in the style of American sentimental melodrama; that's not the only way. As things are, he's incapable, because he thinks it would make him weak, and that only weaklings let their emotions mean something.

I don't think Hibari's on a bad track.

Well, definitely not. It's already apparent that his connection to Tsuna has influenced him, so I'm only expecting more development.

Interestingly, there's a part of the character song that goes:

"You held out a trembling hand
You're satisfied with this, aren't you?
Now, get out of my sight
If you don't, you'll get hurt"

I think it's about Tsuna, and the fact that he warns him and says "you'll get hurt" (and it can mean both feelings and bodily injuries), not "I will hurt you" implies a chink in his armour.

What I want to see for his character is how he will be developed, not how he should be justified.

Yes, that's what I'm saying; a static character is not very interesting. Its' when he grows and changes that we get to know him.
