I know that it's the concept of the Film (or a large component at least) but I just couldn't take to that element of Inside Out in execution.

it's a metaphor and actually very well done from a psychology standpoint. Also... Joy and Sadness are not supposed to be likable characters, that's really the whole point, NONE of the individual "emotion characters" are supposed to be likable or relatable... because the whole message of the film is to point out that it takes all of these things working together to make a "whole person".
In terms of story concept, the writing Inside Out is easily the best Pixar has
