After a 5 month absence and such low time/experience overall it's ENTIRELY normal to go do some airwork with you first, at a safe altitude.
Would you prefer he let you go kill yourself!?
Your instructor is just properly doing his job AND looking out for your safety and well being for god's sakes. He should have you concentrate on aircraft handling in slow flight and a few stalls.
If you continued to complain after demonstrating to you how rusty you likely were, then I would have you do an approach and resist talking and watch you scare the crap out of yourself, LOL.
(I have 3000+ hours of just instructional experience BTW.)
