After rewatching the scene I don't think the addition was a bad one. Could say there was no time given to any characterization for Miyu originally. Here we still got her initial call out of concern that alone makes it seem rather likely her words contained no actual malice in them.

Miyu just officially became friends (through a strange method) with Illya. And that friend is now flipping out over the terror of something she doesn't necessarily need to be involved in. She doesn't know what Illya is going to do next, so better to make an extra push to ensure that Illya doesn't go into the next fight and get hurt any more than she already has. Someone logical by Miyu would have an easier time using the truth (in a harsh fashion) than convincing her with a touching speech.

This way Illya might be upset for a while, but that's better than another traumatic battle and maybe one where she might get killed. Might be reading a lot into it, but think it's more likely she prefers to put everything on herself and keep Illya out of it. Better to be hated than Illya hurting from a terrifying battle or suffering from guilt if her powers go out of control and do kill someone. I can't imagine it's really genuine anger from Miyu, and think this gives her a bit more depth in that moment.
