You could have just as easily said that Fluttershy was being stupid when she didn't want to save the day in Hurricane Flutershy by just joining the fliers and sending the water to Cloudsdale immediately. But she was consumed by so much fear. Twilight didn't send Spike off immediately because she herself was scared.

A fear isn't stupid, it's an obstacle you have to overcome. You just sound insensitive by calling Twilight stupid, despite the fact that not only did she get a request from Celestia, the mare she admires the most and gives her the most panic attacks, but she had to make a choice she thought could ruin her entire relationship with Celestia. But in the end, she overcame her fear and didn't let it consume her. At least give her credit for that. It's not easy having so much pressure on you.
