Beck NEVER would have stayed with Jade if he were so miserable in that relationship. You see that he has no problem rejecting her (like in 'Jade Dumps Beck', when she tried to get him back the first time, and he turned her down). If he really didn't love her, then he never would have taken her back at the end of that episode. If he loved Tori, he would've used that opportunity to get with her. But he didn't. So get your facts straight.

There are plenty of shippings that basically exist to make each other miserable. Chuck/Blair from Gossip Girl is one of them. They're like Heathcliff and Cathy of Wuthering Heights; they're horrible people who do horrible things and lay waste to everything around them. And yet, Chuck/Blair is the most popular ship from GG. Yeah, you can make a case that Chuck is a villain. But does that mean is totally not rootable as a character? Absolutely not. The most interesting and ultimately rootable characters are the ones who blur the lines between good and bad. Antiheros, like Jade. She's more interesting by leaps and bounds than Tori.

And Beck enjoys torturing Jade just as much. It's not all one-sided. He goes out of his way to make her jealous, which I'm sure contributes to why she's so protective. And we don't know how Beck and Jade act in private. I personally believe that she's a lot less intense when she doesn't have to keep up appearances, which would make sense. And we don't know how Tori and Beck will even function as a couple. I think that they'll be the dullest couple since Nate and Blair on GG.
