While it's not possible to be too Christlike, and Jesus Christ was certainly (usually) nice, it is entirely possible for a person to be too nice.
Some people are doormats. Some people fail to get their own needs met because they're too busy seeing to other people's wants and needs. Some people sacrifice themselves when they don't have to. Some people are too nice.
Granted, most people aren't too nice. Most people aren't nice enough sometimes. Being too nice is not a problem that most people usually have. But it is a problem (or at least it can be), and some people have it.
It wasn't nice of Jesus to kick people out of the temple twice, and it wasn't nice of Jesus to be so brutally honest about the scribes and pharisees. Jesus didn't always behave nicely. We shouldn't always be too nice, either.
