I don't understand this. Emotions exist for a reason; they serve to alert us to shifts in consciousness.
The emotion guilt, exists for a reason: to alert us to something that needs changing, or something we did that could be done better in the future, or even perhaps to something that needs reconciliation or amends.
Why is guilt so taboo? Why is it so popular to deny, suppress, and ignore feelings of guilt?
The mind can justify anything, everything, to feel guilty. Guilt is a useful emotion. It indicates that we are not forgiving ourselves. (Like Ankh was saying, a tool to indicate where acceptance is warranted)
