half of the dark angels perhaps

I don't think anyone hated their primarch. Perhaps some loyalist legionaires were resentful, but the Primarchs were father-figures to the astartes, and good ones, too up until the point where everyone started killing each other.

Hate is a very strong word. I think all Space Marines were conditioned to be loyal and respectful of their Primarchs, but some certainly had less respect than others. I think Angron, Kurze and Lorgar were probably the Primarchs that caused the most conflicting feelings in their Legions. The first two were obviously emotionally unstable and employed questionable or extreme methods, while Lorgar was just too much of a preacher and not enough general, and thus the least accomplished of the bunch.

the world eater where respectfully publicly and all, but they all KNEW their primarch was a broken man, and took a secrect shame of it

The Night Lords have mixed feelings on their primarch.

The only legion I recall stating they didn't like their primarch pre heresy was the word bearers and Lorgar. But they were genetically suceptable to obeying his orders without question, so there was little they could do about it (with the exception of one notable rebel)

Of course once the heresy kicked off, im sure everyone who got virus bombed had strong opinions.

As the heresy continued, the night lords and world eaters found their primarchs to be a bit of a joke in the leadership role.

The dark angels is a good call. The Lion casually discarded a while chunk of his legion, basically setting up his own fall.
