Remember that Touka had spent some time with Rikka before, and then had to depart from her due to work. Even if Rikka was left to her grand parents care, nothing changed, and even gramps got annoyed with Rikka's act.
Basically speaking, there is already a major timespan that definitely explains the rift between Rikka and her relatives.
It is obvious that even if you talk seriously with Rikka, it will be extremely difficult to have a reasonable response from her, unless her interest is tickled, to which Yuuta managed due to his chuuni past and other circumstances.
It isn't like Rikka is completely at fault, but the situation is hardly something any side could handle smoothly.

I am more than a little annoyed at her butting in, not because of her asking for Yuuta's help, but more because of her claim that letting Rikka be her chuunibyou self would be "irresponsible." And I am annoyed by Yuuta taking that particular point so seriously. Otherwise he may not have taken such a confrontational tact when dealing with Rikka's mom showing up and the bento.

No matter how you look at it, Rikka's chuunibyou will not be all funny after she graduates (heck, even now is hardly something people will get along all nicely after a while).
Her current situation is all thanks to Yuuta, otherwise she would probably have no one but Sanae and Touka to rely on, and that cannot last forever neither.
Touka also realizes her own powerlessness and can only bear until the situation goes out of hand 1) when Rikka went to their old house anyway 2) that she will have to leave her alone again.
Simply speaking, Touka is actually making up for her inability to fully comprehend Rikka, by seeking Yuuta's help. As a relative who cares for Rikka's welfare, her range of actions is quite limited after so long.
And actually, Yuuta taking this matter seriously actually shows how he cares deeply for Rikka, demonstrating it isn't a mere crush on Rikka. Really, he knows already what means to be a chuuni on the "reality" side, and going further down this path is absolutely not going anywhere, to the contrary, it will lead to serious issues on the long run.
Be aware that Yuuta went more on the compromise, and asks Rikka to face the world without the "True eye of the wicked king", not forcing her or slapping a "your dad is dead!". So even if it wasn't the best solution, it was definitely the least inconsiderate option he had, that would at least have an immediate effect.
