Jesus meant the cup of wrath that was to come upon "US" in the future, not His crucifixion.

No. Jesus ended His prayer by requesting that His Father's will be done. I imagine that the thought of being tortured and nailed to the cross was not pleasing, but he definitely wanted the will of His father to be done more than His own... I mean He had the power to command angels and dude those boys can rumble.

No, it just means He did not want to suffer through the pain.
Jesus knew what physical pain was because he humbled Himself as a man. He wished to redeem the world another way if possible.
John 17 shows how Jesus understood what was necessary.

remember that Jesus was dealing with human emotions.
The important thing is that He submitted to the Father's will.
Luke 22:42
saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."
Matthew 26:39
And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

Sometimes it not about what you want (being separated from your Father, being beat to death, sentenced to die and go to Hades - Sheol), but submitting to the will of the one that sends you.
Jesus did not walk away from his assignment.
