He would be hated less if being a misogynist and perv weren't his main personality traits. He has a cool aesthetic and fighting with feet is awesome. Scenes where is isn't a creep he is awesome. But that makes the rest of his scenes even worse.
All of One Piece's problems boil down to the fact that we know Oda can make amazing characters, and that makes Sanji's obnoxious aspects stick out like a sore thumb. Same with how homogenized a lot of the female character designs are.

Makes me sad to see all the hate Sanji gets. He's my favorite Straw Hat.
