The reason Shinji beats up Takayuki isn't because Takayuki is a bad guy or he thinks his decisions are all that awful. Shinji throws a number of insults at Takayuki for all of those things but what actually makes him get physically violent is when Takayuki tells him that he should be the one to take care of Mitsuki - because he rightly points out that he has always loved Mitsuki and the real reason he came to lecture Takayuki at work isn't becuase of their friendship, but because Shinji loves Mitsuki and wants her to be happy.

The reason this sends Shinji into such a rage is beacause Mitsuki doesn't love him; she said as much a few episodes back when he tried to comfort her, and it's made even more clear by how she acts after they slepe together. Shinji knows that he can never be the one to make Mitsuki happy which is why he's yelling "it has to be you." He's not coming at Takayuki from a place of justice he's simply jealous that Mitsuki will never love him how much he cares for her, and she'll continue to love Takayuki no matter how shittily he treats her.

With all that said I hope Takayuki chooses Haruka, the only really blameless character in all of this. She's the one who really deserves whatever she wants.

Shinji mustn't be the smartest guy out there. Mitsuki cheating on Takayuki is not Takayuki's fault, and the decision to do so was something she made entirely of her own volition. Moreover, I think Shinji should be elated that Takayuki broke up with Mitsuki, since he already likes her, and because Mitsuki's an easy lay. Right now, Shinji has the chance he's been waiting for in the palm of his hand, yet he's getting mad at Takayuki?
