Fair point lol but I thought it showed Pike's desperation to protect these kids from what they'll face on the ground. He was in clear distress about how they're unprepared and starting beating up Murphy because he was, though perhaps misguided, trying keep him alive. I'm NOT saying Pike is a good person, but we did get to see a more human side of him. We can say what we want about Pike, but in the end, he truly thinks he's doing what he has to to protect his people. Bellamy on the other hand is just angrily lashing out because whatshername died and acting foolishly despite knowing better.
