Aw, thanks! I don't like fighting with Kamen Rider shows!

Your not supposed to be rooting for the bad guy during his Moral Event Horizon crossing event. TBF I do like how you suggested this is more or less due to him never growing past his hatred
Well, Kaido's still around, and that dude became a much better person by the end of the show. He became a hero!
If you found the characters unlikeable, I can't really argue with that opinion. I will say that you are definitely supposed to dislike Kusaka, so the flaw in the storytelling is more that Yuuji's actions don't feel that conflicted in the moment, and that I can't really dispute.
Overall, though, I guess I just found the cast, flawed as they all were, very easy to invest in emotionally? If they don't click with you, they don't click with you. For me, I cared a lot about the decisions Takumi and Yuuji made over the course of the show.
And, I don't know, I don't think it was that morally grey by the end? There's a lot of the show that is building Takumi into a Kamen Rider, and that means that he has to learn all of the empathy, patience, resolve, and dedication that seems more innate in other characters. This series was more like a prequel for a Faiz Year One that never got made. It entertains a lot of different ideas, but it definitely lands on morals like Help People, Care About Your Friends, Allow Others To Feel Safe, Don't Judge Others, and so on. It's a show about
exploring
those ideas, not suggesting that they're irrelevant or optional.
