I still think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective.
The War of Wrath was not a small victory. It was a far larger victory than the overthrow of Sauron.

I suppose that I am mainly upset with the unforgiveness of the Valar...you know what I mean?

Actually, I'm not sure I do.
It is a funny thing about the Curse of the Noldor, but it was a necessary thing to teach the Noldor the value of what they had before. They refused to obey the Valar, but the Valar had to let them go. It was the Noldor themselves who did not want to stay. Afterwards, they had to be prepared to return in their new forms to Valinor and not cause another riot.
And the Valar forgave them in the end.
Besides, eucatastrophe can be found in small things as well as great. Take Finrod. (Everyone loves Finrod.) He had a specifically mentioned happy ending that nobody could take away from him (unless, of course, one thinks that being in Valinor for all time is boring, but that is a topic for another time.)
