The anti-death argument you are implicitly referencing only states that "Death is bad", not "we have to feel negative emotions in response to death".
There's nothing wrong with coming to terms with it, as in "this bad thing will probably happen to me, and I accept that it must be so". It's like if you lose a limb - its possible to come to terms with that even if it's clearly bad.
