For you it does. I'm not saying you don't have a valid point, I'm just saying that for some people they may get more out of a teacher that is more antagonistic than cooperative. Besides, there are no "set rules" out there for how a teacher should teach.
And it differs greatly depending on the institution, too. A professor is going to have much less of the time and resources to be like the teacher you described than a high school teacher. If you think you can get a teacher to cater to your individual learning needs all the time, you're never going to be satisfied. But that's just my opinion and how I approach the subject of learning and teaching. It's no better or worse than yours.
Actually, this seems like something which would be ridiculously easy to solve with SCIENCE! Undergrads are by orders of magnitude the most-studied demographic, and it's crazy cheap for universities to do their own research internally like that. I'm sure there are some studies which can tell us if some students learn better from ornery professors or if agreeableness is unilaterally superior. I don't like trawling google scholar on my phone, but perhaps one of you guys could do it for me?
