What's the bigger issue? I only read that Rias didn't respect him either, which was understandable considering he only showed his arrogant side to her. Also I didn't say they don't have a bond, just that it doesn't seem to be as unbreakable as that of the Gremory group. I've gotten so used to their affection for one another I forget they're the only ones who have it like that lol. I can understand that his arroganct nature caused him to hide his true self from everyone, but he didn't truly view her as Rias except, like you said, from his perverted side (which doesn't really count if you ask me).But yes, thanks to that confrontation between Dragon and Phoenix we have the wonderful pairing of Issei x Rias.
