Is it rude? in a way, but not unforgiveably-- although it could be hurtful to the other person. There are many reasons that you might not be in a good place to open the door, that count for more at the moment han the value of being considerate to someone who rings the doorbell.
If you can answer the door and explain that it's not a good time, it's more thoughtful and probably best-- but sometimes it's not possible-- if you can't face the world at that moment, and you haven't asked the person to come.
