I'm curious what they said to you or how they were rude.

Our proposal was to replicate the CaH experience online without any commercial nature (no ads, fully free and open sourced) with the possibility of making it commercial at a later date together. Their response basically dismissed us out of hand and included warnings regarding violating their copyright or using their name. I've never received such a reply to a very friendly partnership proposal.

  Most likely they have zero interest in any kind of "partnership", and you're far from the first one to ask. Think of how many similar requests they've had to field..

FWIW, this is from their FAQ on their website, showing a little of their respect for anyone who wants to partner with them: Do I have your permission to make some crappy Cards Against Humanity thing like an app? Cards Against Humanity is available under a BY-NC-SA 2.0 Creative Commons license. That means you can use our content to make whatever, but you have to give us credit, you can’t profit from the use of our content (this means ad revenue is not allowed), and you have to share whatever you make in the same way we share it (this means you can’t submit our content to any app store). We own the name “Cards Against Humanity,” so you have to call your crappy thing something else.

  Well, I guess that explains why Pretend You're Xyzzy is called what it is...

  This does not sound rude at all to me. I don't understand the position that someone should be accepting of you wanting to "partner" with them by default.

  I don't know if your problem is with the content or the tone. If it's the content, they've pretty much just restated "BY-NC-SA". If it's the tone... these are the people who made Cards Against Humanity. Honestly, what did you expect? PS: If anyone offered to help me "build my brand" on a CC project, I'd tell them to sod off too. No offense.
