Anything that your brain does in order to feel is an emotion, so therefore logic must be an emotion.

logic can't be an emotion, but that's not to call emotions "illogical".
logic is a system of axioms and definitions. emotions are just facts, like history or anything else. "I feel angry" is not logical or illogical; it's merely a descriptive fact about your emotional state.
I hate it when people say logic is the opposite of emotion. they're entirely different things, like cars and cakes. they're not "opposites" and don't "contradict" each other.

Not really. I don't think so anyway. I think of logic as more of the absence of emotion. When you take your emotions out of everything, then you can be logical.

Not at all. Logic means using the mind not the heart. Intuition can involve a feeling or you can have a flash of insight which involves the mind. Put intuition (feeling) and insight (mind) together as one and the result is wisdom.

You can have a feeling of clarity and continuity, but logic is a sequence like a mathematical proof. Either it's faulty or it's strong and seamless and helps you bring things into focus better.

Logic is a mathematical & philosophical discipline. As such, it is not an emotion.
I do think that there is a pleasure that comes with solving logical problems that our society, with all its anti-intellectualism, has not named.

Not by definition it's not possible. However some people wish it where so they could explain it away.
