There is detachment in a way that is a mental illness, such as someone that is, what used to be called, a Psychopath. There is also a form of spiritual discipline called holy detachment and they are not the same. The first is someone who has no emotional attachment to any human being and therefore no conscience. The spiritual one is a person that is capable of loving others and does it in a non-possessive way. They can also discuss a point of view or plan of action without being emotional attached to the outcome. They put God first in their life.

No. I do not believe so. But you need some emotions though. Without love, we would all rot inside, and would be no better than a walking corpse.
However detachment from hate, anger, spite, etc... is good.

Yes. As long as you do not allow that detachment to hurt others. Through action or inaction. Detachment allows you to see past fear. To see the situation for what it is and how others are allowing their fears to guide them. Like any other ability/trait it is all in how you choose to use it.

Sometimes it's a necessary survival mechanism for example if you experience traumatic events on a daily basis as say soldiers or firemen do.

Yes if you're going to look for companionship, no if you've already made plan for the rest of your life that does not include people to socialize with.

Humans were given emotions for a reason and to shut these down I think would be harmful.

Yes, but it is also unhealthy to be completely emotionally dependant.
Everything in moderation.

Yes, though it is a defense mechanism that many use to deal with difficult and/or frightening situations.
If it persists, it implies something pathological.
