I can see where you're coming from, but without some emotion, there is nothing to desire and thus nothing to rationalise towards or any reward for doing so. Also, there has been at least one study that showed that emotional reasoning turns up better answers than logical thinking, because logical thinking requires more information than can be easily gathered and processed to make an accurate analysis.
