Too much is not good, but I think too little is also a problem.

Yeah, but too little makes you unable to deal with stress. So less is not always better.

Also cortisol helps you get up out of bed in the morning. That doesnt seem to work well for me. So fight or flight isnt automatically something negative. It is just negative if it is excessive.
