Is it bad taste for me to like Titus more than Othello? I find Titus so much more intriguing; the way the state is shown as so fundamentally negative combined with the distorted treatment of classical literature make it so much more interesting to me than Othello.
I even like 12th Night more because I like Feste better than Iago.
Is Othello just overrated or am I missing something here?

Othello is overrated, and Aaron is a much better villain than Iago.

The writing and verse is more mature and free in Othello. More use of enjambment and other devices to make it read smoother.
Also the characters/plot are more human and realistic in Othello.
Taste is subjective, so if you like end stopped rhymed lines that's fine.
Lots of people like Titus andronicus because it is violent and bloody.
Personally it's one of my least favorite plays and my least favorite tragedy.

I enjoyed Titus Andronicus a lot too, OP. Not yet read Othello but I plan on doing so by the end of this year, along with The Tempest.

Did you realize that "Titus Andronicus" is an anagram for "Sadist in our cunt" ?
