Style matters. If you submit a manuscript full of typographical errors, no one is ever going to publish your novel, no matter how ground-breaking it might be. If you write a mathematical paper but scribble all your math notation in pencil rather than Latex, no one will ever read it. And if the only way that you can get your point across is through an incoherent rant, no one will take you seriously.
There are plenty of comments here that go deeper than "too long and emotions are bad", see [1][2]. I find it fascinating that you don't seem to be able to either see or comprehend their critique, and instead reduce it to something far more infantile. When you say "The fact you’re crying over length", it is apparent to anyone that you are not trying to have a conversation, you're trying to score points - but your opponent isn't here to debate with you, because he doesn't exist.
