Okarin's struggle in this episode showed empathy as well as a host of other thoughts and emotions. That's what it means to be human and that's part of what makes his character so great and believable. What he displayed in that scene was human nature. He's not Batman, he's not Bruce Lee and he's not Stephen Hawking. So no, I don't expect him to do a three point submission or a blood choke (whatever that is) or go and buy a taser because the minute he does that, this entire plot is NOT believable.
But hey, maybe you would understand that if you actually had gotten off your high horse, SAT and WATCHED the previous episode (y'know the one you said you couldn't even sit through). That might help clear things up a little bit.

lol. Okabe's and Moeka's fight in this chapter already stretched the bounds of plausibility. Why did Moeka never grab a knife? How could Moeka's neighbour actually misconstrue that clamour as a make-out session? Knocking Moeka out would've been far more believable, and it wasn't a requirement that it be perfect or gentle.
Okabe's actions might've been human nature, yes (that covers a very wide range FYI, Bruce Lee and Stephen Hawking included :P), but I find it a stretch to say that witnessing human nature is always great and 'enjoyable'. Sometimes human nature can be real ugly, and that's a sad thing; it's good to be aware, of course, but it hardly needs to be celebrated.

There are just two points here, which I've gotten tired of repeating, so maybe this will be the last: If Okabe's goal was solely the phone, he should've knocked Moeka out to make things easier for both of them. Alternatively, if Okabe's goal was to open Moeka's eyes, he could've done it without physically beating her in the face.
