Dr. Badguy's use of the phrase "most unhelpful" expresses that he found Polly to be very "unhelpful". Although "most" is often used to create the superlative form, here it is synonymous with "very". The adjective which follows is in the negative form, so "most unhelpful" actually expresses that Polly "was not helpful". To be "anything but helpful" is another way to express this same idea.
The phrase "most unhelpful" actually expresses that Polly was NOT helpful. The term "unhelpful" is a negative term, and the term "most" which precedes it does not cancel its negation.
Although "most" is often used to create the superlative form, here it is synonymous with the adverb "very". Dr. Badguy is not comparing Polly to all the assistants he has met, he is simply saying that she was very unhelpful.
