Thanks for bringing up Haidt; I've taken a close look at some of this writing (e.g. this) and concluded that he is full of it... or at least not being rational.
The Five Pillars of Morality theory in particular falls apart if you scratch the surface too hard.
I'm not sure what you mean by "terminal values", however.
"Terminal" is just to distinguish them from "instrumental. If you value freedom because it makes people happy then it is an instrumental value. If you value freedom for it's own sake then it is terminal.
