Yeah, it was nice that the dad seems to have nothing but his daughter's safety in mind, and also believes that she actually has powers and isn't just crazy. It's way too easy to just make parents in these kind of stories just evil antagonists, but he's being very reasonable.
And it seems like he never actually implied that the ayakashi would be dangerous or killed people, that was all Mahiro projecting. It just seems like he's worried that his daughter will stop interacting with humans.
Which again is a reasonable concern, because that's exactly what happened until just a couple of weeks ago.
And yeah, the constant unintentional flirting that never goes anywhere can be pretty frustrating, but that's the bread and butter of subtext manga. The only girls who don't come off as closeted lesbians are the fox gods and Kii, who is just a kid.
