As far as I have ever understood it, there is nothing biological about
the Vulcan brain that makes it so logical, it is simply a way of life
(kind of like Zen, etc.) and the entire population subscribes to it.
(at least as far as we humans are allowed to see! :-)(-: )

Therefore, it is possible for Sarek to "love" his son as he has learned
(good or bad) from his "human" wife.  He undoubtedly would be very
unwilling to admit the presence of this emotion, but we were priveledged!

Just a few (probably wildly different from your own) thoughts!
