Love of truth is care for truth, as in caring what is true from false, right from wrong. Do you not care what is true from false, or right from wrong? Moral truth matters in life, greatly. Moral truth is not amoral.

Love and care are not the same thing. Similar in some regards, but not interchangeable. Both of these words are awfully vague too, which I think is why we fundamentally disagree. We are using different definitions.
If you care to understand my point, here's my view on the "love of truth."
I do not "care for truth" I "care for the acknowledgement and proper respect for truth." Loving truth, to me, would be loving an inanimate object as one would love a person. We cannot change truth. It simply is.
A "moral truth" is a truth that has to do with morality. Not a truth that behaves morally. In that sense it is amoral.
My point was to be careful how we deal with truth. In the world today, we see so much fake news, misinformation, and people believing in false idols(politicians) that make them vulnerable to being manipulated. Greater respect for truth would help to combat many of these issues. In this way, I agree that truth is important.
However, respect and love are not the same. You must respect the notion that the stove top is hot when the coils turn orange. If you do not, you will suffer consequences. You don't have to love the stove top, though. You simply have to acknowledge a truth about the relationship between bright orange electric coils and your hand.
Truth is indifferent to you, the love of it is illogical. We need to be good but we also need to be smart.
Example: A new report comes out that proves a widely used pharmaceutical drug has terrible long term effects. The evidence consists of many scientific papers and is conclusive. I, having read these papers, and being a warrior for truth, have done the due research, even met with some of the scientists that conducted these experiments, and now I'm on the warpath to tell everyone. That may seem like good intention. I am trying to help.
But I must be careful not to lose sight of my goal. The good intention is to help. Not spread truth for the sake of spreading truth.
If I lose sight of my goal and I find a crowd of people. I spout the new studies like a preacher, with authority. The crowd finds my delivery cold and arrogant. They respectfully disagree because it goes against everything they have heard on the matter. If I stomp my feet, show no respect for their feelings, and insult their intelligence, I am not convincing. I failed to convince them(and attached negative feelings to beneficial medical information) not because I so eagerly want to help them and they wouldn't listen. But because I have lost sight of my goal. My tone communicated that I do not care about them. I only cared about being right.
Let's not forget, truth is power. It's often like a tool. It should be used for the good of people. To worship the tool in itself is idolatry. To "love truth" is dangerous.
