The first one is correct. You wanted to know which was closer in meaning to "hurry to do the washing up"... In the first sentence you hurried through the dinner to do the washing up... In the second you washed up quickly.
Being "in a hurry to do the washing up" does not mean that you want to do the washing up either quickly or slowly it simply means that you want to hurry to get the point of washing, by, for example, quickly eating dinner.

you are in a hurry to get to the part where you start washing up. so obviously, the answer is the first one.
if the second on were right, it would be "I was in a hurry to finish washing up." but that's not what it says.
if you're in a hurry to get to work, you don't hurry once you get there, you hurry so you can get there. same thing here.
the first one is right.
