How is it insane to have a goal? Yes surpassing Great Red might be impossible but that doesn't mean that Vali is crazy, it just shows that Vali is determined to do so even if he has to se his entire life for that goal. If anything, i think Vali's determination is praiseworthy, most people would just laugh and say it's impossible and just do nothing. It's always better to try the impossible rather than just say it's impossible and do nothing.
