If you actually take some time to talk to Sten he will explain to you why it is not "just a sword" for him in very detailed and clear way.

This.
Did you just skip the dialogue scenes, OP?

it's a quanri thing, he thinks it is his soul and if he returned without it he'd be seen as souless (maybe he worded it slightly diffrentl cant remember) and they would kill him.
that is why he is so pissed about it.

It's not a "qunari thing" it's a prized possession, frankly it's no different than guys fawning over their cars. If you talk to him he tells you exactly why it's so important to him, why he could never go back to his loved country without it.
im not sure never liked sten but arnt their swords supposed to be crafted for their hands alone and for them alone so it reflects them in a way so thus explained? check the codex!AntiChri5 wrote...

Ive never met a guy who thinks his car is his soul. Though i have met a few who would go on a killing spree if they couldnt find it. I just want a little explanation on Qunari culture. You can't just say that he thinks of a sword as his soul and then not explain why or whether it's a Qunari phenomenon or some weird personal quirk.

Really? I've met people who would kill if it got stolen/damaged. It ties back into the fact that Qunari seem to have a firm caste structure. Sten, is a warrior in the Vanguard. (Qunari word is Bereserad but I think I'm butchering it.) Anyway, because of this his weapon is deeply close to him, it is a part of him because being a warrior is all sten is. It's his personality, his entire being and meaning in life revolves around serving the Qun as a warrior for his people. Losing his weapon, the instrument and tool (almost friend.) that allows him to serve his people and be a warrior is like losing a piece of himself. "No soldier would cast aside his weapon if they still drew breath." The fact that he is alive, but without his weapon, the thing that identifies himself and to others as a warrior for his people, to him at least means he is without a part of him. His "soul" as he calls it. Whether this is just within the vanguard, sten himself or just a Qunari thing in general is not specifically elaborated on, but it is implied that probably everyone feels this way towards the object that allows them to serve the Qun.

It seems he would become souless by killing kiddies anyways. I wanted the option to ram the sword down his throat when we found it.

He was so shocked and scared when he found out his sword was missing that he blacked out. Not like he killed anyone in cold blood just because he found it fun.
