Would he? That might make Harry plot against Dumbledore, but it wouldn’t incite the hate that Quirrell seems to desire from him.
No hate for people who are deliberately keeping cheap immortality from the world’s population? Who are directly responsible for all age-and-disease death in the last eight centuries? I think Harry can muster a little hate where it’s really appropriate.
Besides, I’m certain Quirrell doesn’t want Harry to create a utopia, and thus wants him in the dark just as much as Dumbledore.
Harry would hate Dumbledore but he wouldn’t succeed in getting his hands on the Stone, not if Voldemort can’t. So, no utopia.

You are making assumptions about what how much immortality the Philosopher’s Stone allows. For all you know it may allow e.g. a maximum of 7 people immortality, be only creatable once per five hundred years, and/or require the heart of an adult dragon per each person given immortality.
Revealing the presence of such a device (not cheap immortality, but rare immortality) might well cause more loss of life in the pursuit of its possession than it would cause otherwise.
Ofcourse Harry would still be furious at Dumbledore for not analyzing the stone in any way he can in attempts to find a way to mass-produce it or atleast its effects.
Least convenient world apples, but I’d bet Dumbledore and Flamel haven’t been looking for cheaper ways to create more Stones, because it just isn’t their goal. (And they’re already in trouble because they have to guard the one stone from Voldemort.) If Harry knew, well, I’d bet his eyes would be ice and his voice would be distant darkness and… er, I mean, he’d go Librarian-poo crazy.
Hating Dumbledore for guarding the stone is no more rational than hating theists for trying to save everyone’s souls. The headmaster’s heart is in the right place, and while Harry might become extremely frustrated by him he would still seek to show Dumbledore the light, not to destroy him.
He would—he should—be willing to destroy him if it brings him any closer to possession of the Stone. Of course he probably can’t destroy Dumbledore so it’s a moot point.
Hating him is probably counterproductive anyway. I retract that part of what I said, it was wrong.
