Sakura Kinomoto, hated in Japan?!
I notice the hatred towards her is quite few, but I just feel kind of sad to see the some of the people who hate her with a passion. Comments that broke my heart the most about her are: "she is annoying and should just die in the anime," "Li/Syaoran-kun should just hook up with Meilin or Eriol or Tomoyo," "she is worst anime protagonist to be ever

You're right, when I found out a poll stated that she was the #16 most hated anime character by the Japanese anime fans I felt like so frustrated. And when I saw the poll myself I thought like this: "why the Japanese don't like her? I see nothing wrong with her, I even cannot see anything horrible about her. Do Japanese think she's that horrible?" The bashers themselves also made my frustration got worse.
Another frustrating Japanese poll that I have seen from Biglobe is that Usagi Tsukino is rated as one of the most annoying/unlikeable anime heroines. I never think Usagi was just as annoying/unlikeable as what the Japanese anime fans said about her.
Sakura is one of the anime female character that I loved since I was a ten year old girl, alongside with Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon and Candice White from Candy Candy. She was the main reason I watched Cardcaptor Sakura almost everyday throughout my young age.
The good news is there is a poll from Biglobe said that Syaoran and Sakura was rated by the Japanese anime fans as #5 best anime pairing. Biglobe poll: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/06/05-1/poll-ranks-top-10-anime-couples

Candy Candy I'm not familiar with. Is that another magical girls show?
That's good that Sakura and Syaoran have made it onto a positive poll! They are a very sweet couple.

The poll said that Usagi was rated as the #32 most annoying/unlikeable anime female. I find the poll itself to be kind of ridiculous.
Btw, Candice White is protagonist from the anime "Candy Candy." If you don't know the "Candy Candy" series try to google it.

Okay, I just looked it up. It sounds like a cute series. I like historical shows; I might have to give it a try sometime.

I agree with you that some fans can be really annoying with their bashing, some of their words are really annoying or even heartless to a point.
Btw, I have a one comment about Sakura basher on the internet like this:
"I hate Sakura from card captor sakura.......you have no idea. "
Then when I asked why she didn't like Sakura, then she told me that's because she uses clow cards like windy instead of light or dark card. Her reason didn't make sense to me.

... Wow. That is just beyond bizarre. I certainly fail to understand the logic behind such a reason.

I also don't really like Meiling and Syaoran bashings on the Internet by the fans. Meiling is often being called a "bitch" just because she gets the way of Syaoran x Sakura pairing, I support Syaoran x Sakura pairing too but I don't bash Meiling, I am okay with Meiling actually.
Then, there are fans who wanted Sakura to be paired with Tomoyo would viciously bashed Syaoran. Those Sakura x Tomoyo pairing fans often called Syaoran as a "brat" or a "female abuser," Syaoran is one my favorite in Cardcaptor Sakura, his characters growth is pretty good. I was kind of frustrated when Sakura x Tomoyo pairing fans often portrayed Syaoran as a horrible female abuser towards Sakura.

Poor Meiling. I haven't seen too many episodes with her, but I thought I heard that once she knew Syaoran and Sakura cared about each other, she supported that and stepped aside. It takes a strong person to do that.
Ugh. Oh yes, some fans love to unfairly demonize a character if they get in the way of a desired pairing. Poor Syaoran. He is a very good character.
