When dating how close is too close?

My cousin's aunt wanted my little brother to date her daughter and my whole family started fake vomiting.
So to be clear this is the cousin of our cousin.
I said that it would be good because they both have no one and they both need to meet someone and we can help them.
My whole family said that I was weird.
So they started asking me would I date the half brother of my cousin as well ( no relation) I said yes and they acted like I was horrible.
Would you date the cousin of your cousin?
How about the unrelated brother or sister of your cousin.
I wouldn't seek it out but its just not that bad to me

I am past that point in life (married...) but,

I have a friend who married a cousin. They seem to have a very normal relationship and none of their kids has more than 5 toes on each foot...

@Threepio Yes but thats not the situation I am asking about. Im asking about the non related cousin of your cousin.
Im married too so this was a hypothetical discussion.
I was the only one that thought that it was OK

@REMsleep To be more direct.... I do not see any problem with the scenario that you have laid out.
