I think if the marriage is unworkable, then divorce is unavoidable, but must be kept amicable now, during and after the event - for the sake of your daughter.
Having said that, please involve your close family and friends - somtimes a mediator can help when communications have broken down. Also, try Relate ... i think they are in Forster Square in Bradford.
You say you 'hate' your wife and argue about 'everything' ... usually there is a root cause for such feelings. Try to find this root cause, and focus all your energies on resolving that.
I'm sure you love your daughter more than you hate your wife. In that context, give the marriage one last go.
Best of luck.
