Lucas’s concept was not to make him an annoying jerk however. He wanted Anakin to be hotheaded, reckless, and a little power hungry - all of which makes sense for the character. He just executed it in such a (poor) way that Anakin came across as an annoying jerk.

Those three things you mentioned are the ingredients of “annoying jerk” cocktail. And you forgot to add “ungrateful” and “jealous” to the mix. All these negative characteristics plays an important role in the storyline of AOTC and ROTS, therefore they are clearly on a conceptual level.

Execution just amplified those things and added whining and teen-rage through acting/dialogue.
