I agree. It feels very immature to me. Dogs seem to experience anger like we do, so anger must come from a common ancestor. That makes it older than humanity itself. I think it’s obvious evolution would have ditched it a long time ago if it wasn’t serving us in some deep and complex ways. And that feels right - whenever I feel angry, something I care about is being ignored. My anger clearly wants to protect and care for me and the people I love. Why would I banish it? Childish anger has an untamed destructive element. But the answer is to let anger grow and mature with the rest of your psyche. Not banish it and pretend it doesn’t exist. If you banish your anger, how could it possibly mature?
