Just within the context of the show, he contributed to the death and damnation of a girl, and got damned himself in the process.

Plus, he is willing to do what is necessary, and sometimes what is necessary is awful, so he wants to avoid having too many friends he might have to be awful to.

As for the angel, he's a representative of the God who damned Constantine, who is demanding that John save the world, and offering little more than cryptic clues to assist. I think Constantine can be forgiven some brusqueness.
