The feud being "stupid", as you put it, was the whole point. I interpreted it as an allegory for parents who won't allow their kids to hang out with other children from different nationalities, races, etc. It's a pointless division and that's exactly why we root for the two. We want them to destroy the fruitless barrier that's keeping not only them, but two entire families apart. We want them to get past the stupidity of the whole thing. So in a way, you're pointing out something the episode intended to do, which in my eyes, is a sign that it did it quite well.
