He disagrees more with the fact that the Stoics attributed their moral system to nature, as most moralists did. He also disliked the indifference that stoics showed towards this world. Nietzsche thought that we can escape nihilism only by offering meaning to things in our world instead of being indifferent towards them. This being said Nietzsche had a lot of respect for that trait which you presented as being stoic, namely strength of character, resilience. His dislike of the stoics is not absolute; he just didn't like a certain mindset of stoicism, a mindset of denial, of creating moral laws, sometimes laws whose purpose is to go against our will to power, to go against life, but that doesn't mean he didn't appreciate some things from the Stoics. Instead of trying to deny suffering like the Stoics tried, he instead affirms it as a means to improve ourselves, as something to be overcome.
Try to have some nuance when you read.
