Yes, there is a much simpler and better way. You do not want to use 
intersection in this case, you want to use dynamic clipping which is 
far more powerful.

Intersection creates a static path that represents the intersection of 
the shapes. If the original path had an outline, so does the 
intersection, so the outline now runs around the line where the 
pattern was intersected.

Clipping can clip everything and you can clip right through any thick 
outlines.

So, instead of putting the rectangle on top you put it behind the 
pattern, remove the line colour of the rectangle, select the pattern 
in addition and choose "Apply ClipView", and then you get exactly the 
result you wanted without any further adjustment being necessary.
