To put this in another context.
You're arguing that a lawyer is working in your interest because they are advising their client not to physically harm you, but to make use of legal options instead
I don't think that makes the lawyer a good person or working in your interest - it's the same with hr

The point is that the HR function protects the interests of the company, not the employees. People need to be aware you can't ingratiate yourself or befriend individuals in hr to change that in some way.
People will view things working for or against them as good or bad respectively, as the original person I responded to did
HR is always working in the interest of someone else
