It seems like you've got this all wrapped up, but I'll throw in anyway....
She does seem to have issues with her parents, which she'll have to figure out (hey, don't we all???), but she should feel safe around you as well.
While it's important to maintain a "polite" relationship with her father I wouldn't go out of the way to piss him off. Telling him that you're not coming to the door and waving his little girl in his face is only going to make things rough and force the girlfriend to choose between you. And in the few relationships that I've had with women who have father issues, they always choose daddy.
That being said, I am polite and respectful when they are polite and respectful and ranting and raving isn't polite and respectful at all. And I would encourage you to explain that to him next time he does it. It seems like this guy has been running roughshod for a long time and doesn't seem to realize that there are bigger dogs in the yard.
Good luck in your endeavor.
