So does the Father's wrath still abide on sinners (Rom. 1:18)? If so, why, since Jesus paid the price of sin and satisfied the Father?

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Luke 13:2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way?
Luke 13:3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
John 5:40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

There is no reason to reject the clear reading of 2 Peter 2:1 and assume it doesn’t mean what it says. Men and women go to hell because they refuse the free gift of salvation that was paid for on the cross.

What are the main arguments against limited atonement?​

Repentance and faith were the required responses (see Matthew 21:32). If Christ’s death did not provide atonement for everyone, then the apostles, and even Jesus Himself, were offering something that most of their audiences could never receive.

Limited atonement is the point of traditional Calvinism that has caused the most confusion and consternation among Bible-believing theologians. Will only the elect be saved? Yes. However, Christ’s sacrifice is sufficient to pay for all sin, and the offer of salvation is universal. Our invitation for others to accept Christ should echo the Spirit’s call in Revelation 22:17: “‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”

I don’t like answers that takes clear verses and assume they don’t mean what they say in order to fill in an acronym.

Since I said nothing about that, what you don't like is answering questions someone else asked.
