The corporate interface with employees and customers is quite lacking, sometimes.

This is just one person, a roadblock meant to be a partial roadblock.
I suspect if you really wanted to work for that particular company you could have left an ambiguous first impression, or gone to someone higher(no pun) on the ladder.
This still could be done.

Not knowing the original situation, I'll just say loosing one's cool during an interview over a mis-spoken question is a bad gesture. I'm a hothead at times, and have kicked myself in the leg too many times over some idiots lack of awareness.

You could say:
"Well, to my understanding (X-to-X) dollars is the going rate for this type of job. My qualifications and experience are (X) and I don't think my position is unreasonable. If you decide to contact me later for this position, I may reconsider your company".
Sell yourself, and let them know what they lost.
