Had he actually known that Kirino was going to those meetings, he would've got a lot more mad, treated Kirino much more harshly and handed out some nasty consequences to her. Nothing that Kyousuke would've said would've changed his mind anymore, and he would've gone to Kirino's room for an extended rampage on anything even remotely anime-like. While he was already at it, he might have extended his rampage to other things like Kirino's modeling stuff which is only barely tolerated by him.
It was only after Kyousuke pleaded with him for a long time and then eventually said that it was all his stuff that he changed his mind about that. As he already didn't like and didn't care for his son in the first place, Kyousuku owning stuff that his narrow-minded, intolerant self regards as devious fits well into his prejudiced image, and in beating him, he ultimately writes him off as a lost case.
Further proof for the not-caring: After Kirino and Kyousuke had been at the otaku meeting, the father wanted to know precisely where *Kirino* had been. Kirino had to lie there because she knew perfectly well that if she said that she had met some friends and talked about anime, her intolerant and insensitive dad would instantly throw a temper tantrum and hand out some vicious consequences.
Even though he's zealously questioning Kirino, he doesn't give so much as a single glance at Kyousuke, and Kyousuke just remarks to himself that his dad as usual doesn't give a damn about where he'd been.

No, that was his original intention. The manga, light novel, and anime make it clear that the father admitted his prejudice about anime was wrong and he would accept Kirino's hobby. That was purpose behind Kyousuke's entire argument and why he presented a picture of Kirino together with Saori and Kuroneko. The problem is that Kirino's collection is mostly, if not all eroge, so her collection would have been thrown out anyway.
