After finishing the anime, I still don't understand why gon raged so hard over a guy he barely knew. Can y'all explain this to me?

Basically cut content. In the manga and the first anime adaptation, the first episode is about gon meeting kite and wanting to become a hunter. If you're interested, either read the 1st manga chapter or first episode of Hunter x Hunter 1999

it wasnt just about Kite, Gon is unhinged, he didnt feel justified and he hated how unfair what happened was, there's more to it that you can look up aswell

Because Kite was someone Gon had tremendous respect for. Kite was almost a father figure to Gon. Even if Gon didn't know Kite all that well, his first interaction with Kite was still significant to him.

This makes so much more sense. I had no attachment to Kite at all based on what was shown in the anime.

There’s a lot more of Kite and Gon’s history in the manga, but if you think about it Kite was also Gon’s strongest connection to his dad

yeah i feel the same i think it was unnecessary to give him this much rage and power. i mean at least they should have spent more time together and it would be understandable. we should have seen kite for at least one more arc. not just for a second but like a main character. i did watch 99 version but its still not enough. maybe it will make more sense in the future but for now it was too much rage. i hope we will get an explanation

For the connection that kite share with Ging and his mentorship of gon. I guess it sometimes doesn't make sense but he's gone what can we say.

Everyone saying Kite was a father figure? Gon met him once when he like 7 and they talked for a few hours. That doesn’t make you a father figure.

Kite was essentially the reason Gon became a hunter. yes, he wanted to find Ging, but that was more of an afterthought for him honestly. In the manga and 99 anime he pretty much became a hunter because he wanted to be like Kite.

From my perspective, Kaito was the closest he ever got to Ging, therefore he projected a fatherly figure over Kaito. Or, perhaps, that's just me. lol Now, Gon was pure, innocent, naive... an angel. He witnessed Kaito being slaughtered by Pitou for no reason at all, got infuriated at himself first upon realizing he was scared and powerless to protect a friend (notice how he gets quickly attached to just about anyone!) not only his but his father's. But he only goes berserk once he sees what Kaito was turned into and realizes how much torture he was put through. That angel got broken. That's where he lost it. Where Gon is good, Pitou is evil. It didn't have to be Kaito, nor even Killua. It could've been any stranger... I believe the effect would've been the same.
then again, I haven't read the manga so these are just my thoughts upon what the anime brings us.

maybe, you should try reading the first chapter of the manga.
Maybe you should because Kite is there for literally 8 pages and pretty much just says he knows Ging and being a hunter is awesome. That doesn't make him a father figure at all. Gon was just upset and put into a blind rage because he blamed himself for causing Kite to die in such an unfair way. Gon is a psychopath and doesn't care about anyone or anything until he fixes what he thinks is wrong in the world.

Because in the original material source (& 1999 Version), Kite isn't just save child Gon from the bear in his past, but also he's the reason why Gon become a Hunter. Kite is a Shanks in Hunter x Hunter

actually the series starts with Kite and kite kind of becomes a father figure in Gons life. coincidentally kite is acctually the first character we see in the entire series in the manga. but the adaptation cut that out to start the series off more fast paced hence people not feeling the impact kite has had on gon and unable to justify his rage. also gon is one unhinged mf

Kite: saved Gon's life, made him aware of his dad as well as hunters and made him go out and seek the two. 

Without Kite, there would have been no hunter x hunter.

1: In the manga, the first person we see Gon interact with is Kite. Kite reprimands Gon for being close to a baby fox bear, causing Kite to be forced to kill the adult fox bear due to their predatory nature. He's sort of like a father-figure, disciplining his son and teaching him a lesson. Kite realizing Gon is Ging's son, tells Gon about finding Ging and being a hunter, cementing Gon's desire to be a hunter. He finally leaves Gon with a hunter license, Gon stares at it, looking up to Kite, the man that found his father successfully, is close to Ging, and is a prime example of a hunter.

2: Gon, as you know throughout the series gets verry irritated with being weak. IE: Hisoka beating Gon, Genthru manhandling Gon, him refusing to be weak to Razor, the list goes on. Gon realizes that his weakness in his mind killed Kite, it enrages Gon that his weakness cost the man his life. Not only was he a man, but the man he looked up to, the closest thing to Ging. In Gon's mind he disappointed   his father by letting his student be killed, and it enraged him to no end that it was because he was weak. Kite saved Gon from the adult fox bear, Gon was unable to save Kite..He simply couldn't take it.

It's kind of like Luffy and Shanks if you watch One Piece, a bad move to not show this in Hxh 2011 episode 1, it much dampens the relationship between Gon and Kite and his inspiration.

I think it’s because kite was his « sensei » ( Gon even once saw him when he was just a kiddo and back then kite saved him from a wild animal ). Kite was also the last bound Gon had with his father

But also, Gon wanted Kite to be his mentor, and he got him killed because he didn't follow literally the first instruction Kite gave him. That guilt alone would be enough.

Plus Gon doesn't accept harsh truths that some opponents can't be defeated and he has too much self confidence.
So on the one hand, he felt guilty for not knowing when to give up when they fought the cat ant lady and Kite died. But on the other hand, that same stubbornness drove him to take revenge from the cat ant lady in particular, because after all, he's still a kid who doesn't have enough wisdom to take another approach.

Sorry if I got some things wrong. It's been a long time since I last watched the chimera ants arc.

Yeah, Kite got so much more screen time in the new anime than the old one. If viewers don't like him after the chimera ants, watching 1 more episode is not going to change that.
