While a lot of the hate is due to the story putting ghouls in a sympathetic view, some of it due to how needlessly and self-destructively sadistic he was to ghouls.

Take the anime where the "doves" are investigating the case of the "binge eater" and they come across Jason, who breaks Kureo's quinque and escapes. What does Kureo do? Go back to HQ? Try another lead?

No, he's so obsessed with quinques, he not only takes the convenient one of the ghoul that was present, he lures that ghoul's wife and child into his trap. He didn't even ask the captured mother for information or even make a surface attempt at trying to pretend he was doing his job; he just wanted a quinque and a dead ghoul.

Then he diverges even further from what he's supposed to be doing (finding out where this binge eater is) and hunts down the child ghoul that escaped.

How is any of this helping him catch a binge eater who clearly would be bigger safety threat than even two regular ghouls? Even if ghouls were all irredeemably evil and destructive, he got stupid in his obsession and hate. That's a big reason why I dislike him; in what we saw of him, he wasn't protecting humanity at all. He was just trying to kill ghouls...to the detriment of his actual job.

If Kureo had been investigating the ghouls, but wrongly come to the conclusion that Hinami and her mother were responsible for the crime he was investigating, at least it would have come across as a man whose hate led him down the wrong path, but was able to justify it to himself. No, this guy just didn't care, and that is why I was so glad he was killed.
