If you hate acute care then don't torture yourself. However.....
If you have further plans in mind, such as becoming a nurse practitioner, educator, informatics nurse or other advanced roles, most require 2-5 years of acute care experience.
Caliotter3 is correct that there are not enough acute care openings for every new grad that wants one. Its okay to go a different direction, as long as you do so thoughtfully.

Would I be starting my nursing career off on a bad path if I decided to not start out in acute care?
