Chesterton doesn't understand the emotion because he doesn't know enough about psychology, not because emotions are deep sacred mysteries we must worship.
I read "irrational" as a genuflection in the direction of the is-ought problem more than anything else.
My beef isn't with "irrational", he meant "arational" anyway. It's with the idea that this property of emotions make our ignorance about them okay.
Ah - I missed that implication. Agreed.
