Also, of course someone's going to be disappointed and hurt and, yeah, maybe even angry if they get rejected. Are they seriously supposed to be perfectly happy about being just friends if they have romantic feelings? Not every hurtful situation has a villain and a victim. There's a difference between being generally angry that things didn't turn out the way you wanted and that you can't be with the person you have a crush on, and being angry at and blaming the person you have a crush on for rejecting you because you think you deserved to have them. Protip: the former usually try to hide their feelings because they know they're irrational, while the latter honestly think they have a right to be angry.

I think if you're taking out your anger on the person who rejected you, that's not okay. Forgivable if there's an apology soon after, depending on who these people are and their relationship, but not really... okay.

Feeling hurt and feeling angry though, yes. I keep hearing it like "if you really liked them, you'd be happy being friends" and maybe that's true after the rejected party gets over it, but immediate "okay, yay friendship!" is a pretty unrealistic expectation. That is just not how emotions usually work. People get disappointed if it rains on their day off, or if they buy a pair of shoes over the internet and they don't fit. Whether your crush likes you or not is way more important to most people, so of course most people are going to feel at least a little disappointment!

Of course hurt feelings don't excuse being a horrible person, but just having them doesn't make you a horrible person.
