Look at Merriam-Webster's definition.
"tending to argue : having or showing a tendency to disagree or argue with other people in an angry way : disputatious"

An argumentative person is a loud, accusatory, verbally aggressive person who does nothing except try to get the other person on the defensive and shout them down. Calling someone argumentative is a slur. It's someone who can't calmly persuade and has to try and drag it all down to a shouting match.
