It’s like arguing that getting kicked in the balls is fine because “you’re probably just live in an artificially painless life, with painkillers and modern medicine”.

huh it’s not an argument it’s just my opinion. Dogs mouths are super dirty, saliva is a bit gross. If you are used to just getting dirty and clean all the time another way of getting dirty doesn’t seem that bothersome.
Like most people are grossed out by being vomited on, after you care for babies for a while or work security at a messy bar or whatever you stop being that grossed out because it happens hundreds of times. Work at a vet or on an animal farm and piss and shit getting on you stops being so nasty.
It’s not a moral judgement, just that if a pet licking you seems really gross you probably aren’t used to getting stuff on your face that you just go wipe/wash off.

You can have opinions with arguments. That’s not mutually exclusive.
“I think [opinion] because [argument]”
Just in this case your opinion was just implied by your argument.

That’s where we can agree on.
Hence the “irrationally grossed out” part. It’s not a controlled thing, I’m not choosing to feel grossed out, I just do. So you can understand that your reply was akin to telling an arachophobe: “You’re probably a city dweller that’s never been to the countryside, we have them everywhere there”. It comes off as arrogant and know-it-all.
I have nothing personal against you though.
