1- You're right, it's undeniable but is totally deniable what you said before: That Gohan learned to like fights because of his time spended with Piccolo.
2/3 - He show later when he fought with Cell and later told him about his hidden powers, much for Cell's amusement, also Gohan trained because everyone would train too, and why he would demonstrate dissatisfaction by such a dull thing like that?
4- He enjoys fighting for justice not for personal enjoy that's the difference
5- I don't said he hate fighting just that he don't enjoy as something for himself.
6- Never said but it is implicit, he wants to fight Dabura, right, but after have seen that his father got strong it was something that he want to prove to him. I not saying that Gohan would skip Dabura but he had his reasons to fight him (Avoid Boo ressurection, make Krillin and Piccolo back to normal) now that all these reasons, would really Gohan fight Dabura only for personal enjoy? I don't think so.
7- He really wanted to help? Then why not ask Krillin to leave Bulma, baby Trunks and Yajirobe to safety and then he could help against 17 and 18?
Gohan never fought by his own. "It's my turn now! Fight me" that's something that he never would say but Goku yes.
8- Like I said before, Gohan only fight when he have reasons to and for his "psycho SSJ2 self" I think that was something out of his character responding to Goku that Cell should suffer more before finish him, something that Vegeta would say for sure (don't know if this scene is filler) I enjoyed more his quiet rage, slaughtering Cell Juniors without saying many words.
1. He didn't learn to like fights, he just stopped hating and crying over them. Hence in the next arc he wanted to go fight for his friends....something he completely forgets about during the Cell Games.
2/3. He trains because he feels he needs to help, but he doesn't show displeasure. He enjoys the time he has sparring with Goku or Piccolo. He doesn't hate fighting, he doesn't like having to kill someone though for the sake of a fight.
4. It's both. Hell he's fighting for justice when he fights against super powered foes as well. He never shows displeasure in fighting against Goku, Goten, Piccolo (once older), etc. There's a difference between being a fighting junkie, and just liking other things more than fighting. It'd be like saying Goten and Trunks hate fighting cause they'd prefer to pick up women.
5. But he does, it's just to a lesser degree than Goku. What part of that is hard to understand? He doesn't actively avoid fighting. He didn't train for 7 years cause he hates fighting, but because he just likes doing other things more than fighting. Fighting to him is like bicycle riding to me. We enjoy it to a degree, but we just have other things we'd rather do. If someone wants me to join them, sure. If Goku, Goten, Piccolo, or someone asked him to spar. He'd say yes. He enjoyed fighting against Goten cause it was fun. Fighting to kill things or to protect people from genocide isn't fun, cause it's a serious threat.
6. He has every reason to just let Goku or Vegeta fight Dabura. He's the toughest of the bunch and considered strong. The others were weaklings. Gohan wanted to fight Dabura because it was his turn. He wanted a chance to fight. Once he hit adulthood he no longer had problems with fighting, but he still had other hobbies he preferred. Krillin and Piccolo weren't even his fault. If they were then he'd feel like he owes them, but he doesn't. He wanted to fight Dabura because he wanted a turn to fight. He is not against fighting, it's not his main interest though. Is it really that impossible to like something, but just prefer to do something else more?
7. That's cause he literally doesn't have the power to. Gohan says he didn't want to let his training go to waste, but Piccolo shuts him down saying he can help, but he isn't strong enough to fight Gero. It's not til the Cell Games where he can do something.
8. Not true at all. He has plenty of reasons to not be Saiyaman or to let someone else fight for him. He fights when he has to. He enjoys spars with family and friends. He doesn't like fighting with lives in the balance. His "Psycho" SSJ2 self is when his Saiyan instincts took over when his rage exploded. As Ultimate Gohan he has full control of himself, and he smiled at being able to finally fight and stop Boo. His smirk shows he enjoyed himself. It's reminiscent of SSJ2, but without him wanting to truly enjoy Boo's anguish like Cell when he was SSJ2.
