Trump not knowing Comey very well, also values loyalty and wanted it from him, showing allegiance to the Country and it's President, yet Comey wouldn't offer that either.

The president isn't the country. When Nixon wanted to fire everyone investigating him, would loyalty towards him be the same as loyalty to the country?
Comey emphasized the importance of the FBI distancing themselves from the president because they serve the people of the country.

Both serve the people, and both are supposed to work together. One has power over the other though. The fact of the matter is that Trump is saying I didn't do it, and so far most of the "evidence" that's leaked out, some by Comey himself, is pretty weak. That's just what we know though.

Maybe Trump felt he needed to distance himself from Comey and some others to better serve the people of the country. Just because Trump is a much easier target in many ways, by no means is proof he's the one at fault.
