A quick answer to a bit of your post:

From what I remember of both LotR and The Hobbit, the Dwarves and Elves mistrust each other profoundly (the Dwarves in particular appear to mistrust the Elves in FotR, film version, as seen at the Council of Elrond in particular, and in Gimli's attitude to the Elves). There isn't any suggestion that either Gloin or Gimli mistrust the Elves any more than do any other of the surly Dwarves featured at the Council.
The Elves, too, don't trust the Dwarves in FotR, as seen, for example, during their initial encounter before entering Lothlorien. However, in general the mistrust appears to be stronger on the part of the Dwarves (Legolas's attitude towards Dwarves in LotR appears just vaguely bland).
NB I never got the feeling in LotR that there was any more than just mistrust between the two races – there was certainly no hatred.
