Humans like to be part of exclusive clubs. And they like putting people outside of their club. The Quran says those who say Allah is one of three are kafirun. As Muslims should we arrogantly look upon all Trinitarian Christians as kafirun who are all bound for hell? BTW, those who reject the Prophet hood of Muhammad are also kafirun, not just Trinitarians. When speaking to Christians is it always a good idea to emphasise their kufr or might it be better to put the shared and common values forward?

There are subtleties here. Arrogance puts people off. Not everyone has had access to the message of Islam, some may have a very distorted picture....so we need to be wise and vast in our mercy and humility, you never know this might win people over more than a harsh exclusivist invitation to Islam.
Stating basic Islamic 'aqidah doesn't automatically mean being harsh.
Otherwise, if you believe one is going to Jannah anyway, why do you need to give them da'wah?

I've always clearly told to non-Muslims -in a kind, not-harsh way - that they will end up in the Hellfire forever unless they accept Islam, and they didn't find any problem with this. And many alhamdulillah accepted Islam.

While if you hide this fundamental piece of truth from them, why should they be interested in accepting Islam, if it "doesn't really matter"?...

When we confuse 'Aqidah with "kindness", it's here that problems arise.

We'll have been infected by the post-christian modernist western virus of "being nice is more important than speaking truth", and also the idea that speaking truth is something bad and "unkind".
