It seems you have confused Stanley Kubrick's movie with Arthur C. Clarke's novel. It further appears you have not read the book. Do you know what you're doing here?
Don't be too doctrinaire - there was a lot of Kubrick in the novel.
Kelli has nicely recounted the lead-up to the emotional peak of the film. Kubrick was brilliant to gin up sympathy for a (presumably) emotionless, albeit sentient, machine.

In a way the book has HAL being even MORE Passive-Aggressive than in the film, if that's possible.
