I totally agree with you. I know that everyone says Rumplestiltskin was/ is a coward but this... giving up his physicial integrity. It's anything but a wise decision still there's some kind of bravery in it. It pains even more because watching  we already know it will be in vain. Knowing something isn't always a good thing.
