If they want their products to be inherently affordable then why add a 3D feature to a handheld console or an expensive controller to a home console?

Because price is not the sole consideration.  If they only cared about price, then they could just release a system with the specs of the NES over and over again.  But, they also want their systems to have other features that they think their consumers will find appealing.  

Inherently would mean that it is a core value and not something to be pushed aside when convenient.  That hasn't always been the case.  I'm not saying that's wrong but I am saying that Nintendo doesn't have a problem with relatively expensive gimmicks/innovations, either.

I wasn't talking about the Switch but the price seems fine objectively speaking.  Of course, being a hybrid, some people will think it's too much depending on what they want out of it.

Others would think they're getting a console and a handheld for the price of a new console. It's like buying two for the price of one.

That's the whole point of the Switch: a console at home and a handheld for when on-the-go. It's in the marketing and it's in the name.

That's why I said "some people".  Not everyone is going to pay more for an SUV when they just want a car.
