Are you saying that FBI agents aren't allowed to have political opinions?
There is zero evidence that their apparent personal beliefs affected their investigative work.
Or did I miss something in the report?

Strzok's actions go far beyond "opinion".

Many of his conversations with Page (beyond just the one in the OP) indicated that he planned to use his position to stop Trump. That's not just opinion. That's treason.

Indeed.
It's important not to let the usual suspects gloss over the truth of the report - however hard they try.
The federal judge who presided over former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s case last year before mysteriously being recused had a personal relationship with anti-Trump FBI official Peter Strzok, according to text mesages obtained and reviewed by Fox News.
...
“That explains why he recused himself,” former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Joe diGenova told Fox News on Friday. “He knew he was a friend of Strzok’s when the case came to him. He should allow Flynn to withdraw the guilty plea.”

I agree UKTruth!
The truth of the IG report is that the conclusions of the FBI on the Midyear Investigation were legally valid and were not compromised by political bias.

... in fact the report makes it very clear that FBI officials showed a willingness to take official action based on their bias. You can't hide facts no matter how hard you try with your lies.
In assessing the decision to prioritize the Russia
investigation over following up on the Midyear-related
investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop, we
were particularly concerned about text messages sent
by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created
the appearance that investigative decisions they made
were impacted by bias or improper considerations.
Most of the text messages raising such questions
pertained to the Russia investigation, and the
implication in some of these text messages, particularly
Strzok’s August 8 text message (“we’ll stop” candidate
Trump from being elected), was that Strzok might be
willing to take official action to impact a presidential
candidate’s electoral prospects. Under these
circumstances, we did not have confidence that Strzok’s
decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over
following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead
discovered on the Weiner laptop was free from bias.
We were deeply troubled by text messages exchanged between Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations. Most of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the Russia investigation, which was not a part of this review. Nonetheless, when one senior FBI official, Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to
another senior FBI official, Page, “No. No he won’t.
We’ll stop it” in response to her question “[Trump’s] not
ever going to become president, right? Right?!”, it is
not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even
more seriously, implies a willingness to take official
action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral
prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the
FBI and the Department of Justice.

I notice your posts still paraphrase when it is convenient.
There is no statement in the IG report that "the FBI showed a willingness to let bias dictate their actions to stop Trump."
That is false, utterly false, and you know it.
Quote this statement from the report if you can, can you?
Prosecutor 4 told the OIG that Obama’s statement was the genesis of the FBI’s suspicions that the Department’s leadership was politically biased. This prosecutor stated, “I know that the FBI considered those [statements] inappropriate. And that it...[generated] a suspicion that there was a political bias...going on from the Executive Branch.”
