I totally agree.
Before the accident, Linda didn't really display any signs of affection towards Banri. From Linda's perspective, Banri was only a friend and nothing more. I believe a relationship between opposite genders cannot be non-platonic, which is seen through Banri having a crush on Linda hoping to eventually get with her.

Linda was always generous and considerate, why not like her?
That's what I thought until the locker room scene where Linda was ashamed to admit that she was Banri's friend and instead says something like Banri is unreliable and she only interacts to support him. From that scene alone, I became a lot more fond of Kouko. If she finds it humiliating to admit that she is a friend of Banri , it only really shows that she is insecure with how other people view them together which is only her problem as love transcends social ideals. In contrast, Kouko has no fear of displaying public affection even if she is insanely pretty while Banri is quite ordinary.

Also if Linda really had feelings for Banri, I'm sure she would have got to the bridge early, at most on time. Even after the accident which was indirectly her fault, it didn't really show how often Linda visited Banri while he was in a coma, which is a shame as I wanted to see how distraught she was to see him in such a state.

Anyway, I have probably shown my passion for the anime and to add I'm an immense Kouko fan.

I don't think Linda really loved Banri romantically. She cares about him but she thought he was unreliable and what she did was just guilt. I don't think it was hinted that she loved Banri romantically. She even supported him and Kouko. If she really loved Banri, she would have shown up at the bridge she told Banri to wait for her which led to him having that accident and not to mention she was indirectly responsible for the accident. Remember the flashback of when they were in middle school, Banri was waiting for her and Linda's friends were asking her whether she liked him and she clearly said no I don't know if she said that to save face but that hurt Banri and you can see her face turn pale as soon as she opened the door and saw Banri there. Linda clearly didn't see Banri as a romantic interest. She never confessed because she doesn't feel that way about him. She was late to meet him because she clearly was not keen on the idea. Looking at the flashbacks, she's like an older sister to him. Banri was kinda pathetic and it's hard to imagine that she really loved him that way. A lot of people think she loved Banri but if she really loved either, I think she could have seen that the new Banri was better and Kouko was also a reason for the new Banri being better. That is why she said "yes" to him at the end and that yes was clearly indicating that she loved him as a brother but they must move on. I am not hating on her. This is my opinion on her.

Chitoge from Nisekoi and Aki Adagaki from Masamune are far worse

Just watched Masamune and I've no idea what you're on about Aki isn't a bad character in the slightest.
