I completely agree brother.

My intention wasn't to delve into minute details of its classification; I just wanted to clarify if the meaning is correct (and thus if it can be said that "divorce is most hated thing among the permissible ones") after having doubts about it due to some old readings..

Sorry for the misunderstanding, brother

. I think this pretty much sums it up from the link al_Zayn posted:

What is meant by this Hadith?

According to Al-Khattabi, An-Nawawi, Ibn Hajr and others, this hadith refers to divorcing a woman without a reason (sabab). In other words, to divorce a woman without a reason angers Allah (SWT), even though it is Halal. Abu Dawud placed this hadith beneath the chapter heading “Regarding the Hated status of Divorce”. This hadith is warning the believers that divorce is not a game, or a ‘word’ to be thrown around when having a marital spat. The fact is, divorce tears families apart, can leave children with emotional scars, hurt and damage the family structure as a whole. So the believers should be wary, that this “Halal” act is hated by Allah (SWT) is abused or misused. http://www.seekingilm.com/archives/311
