That's the idea. The idea of discipline is not to make the child feel happy. It's supposed to humiliate them and make them feel bad because they've done wrong. What argument do you have? You've never experienced it. it's not that bad. How many times do we have to say we turned out alright? You're thinking of extremes and it's not extreme. A smack on the hand is not emotionally scarring. It's not always neccessary but sometimes a child needs to know where they stand.
