But that misses the point of the character: Rainbow has never been someone to talk about her own shortcomings.

Also, the REAL reason why Rainbow was so upset was in my opinion not a matter of honesty, but a matter of pride - the nickname was tied to her reputation as a perfect flyer.

Back then, it was given to her because she was a hot-headed amateur. So she would ultimately figure, that someone with the name "Rainbow Crash" would never be taken seriously as a perfect flyer.

But the Wonderbolts ensured her, that she is a great flyer, so she learnt how this nickname doesn't afflict as long she doesn't let it.

I agree that talking about your feelings isn't bad. But it's not the solution to every problem.
