>it makes no fucking sense givenanything he's done, said, or gone through
The whole point is that they are a fundamentally broken person incompatible with standard human logic. Archer is self-aware of that. Shirou is subconsciously self-aware but represses aspects of that which are most obvious (such as "self-preservation") for the sake of putting others before himself.
This is proven how fucked up that is when Berserker sacrifices himself to save Ilya. And when he's dead, Gilgamesh goes and kills Ilya. That's proving Archer's point. You can't give up your sense of self-preservation and sacrifice yourself and think everything will be okay.
However, Shirou was correct in that is the only way Emiya Shirou will ever feel fulfilled. It's not wrong to want to save someone. All other logic and introspection is thrown out the window when your ideal is simply to save people from tragedy.
