To be honest, I think Hiashi just made a lot of mistakes in his life. It's pretty obvious that he loves Hinata very much but because of the Hyūga's way and the way he was brought up himself, he gives Hinata that kind of "tough love". I guess all he wanted was for his daughters to be strong. In my opinion, when Hiashi left Hinata in Kurenai's care and said all that mean stuff, I think that what he wanted was for Hinata to become stronger and to not be that cutie with no backbone. I think Hiashi obviously loves Hinata but he just wasn't the type to shower his daughters with love and take them to candyland every day, until Boruto and Himawari came when he became a grandpa.
