var propertyData = $(responseXML).find("PropertyData").filter(function(e){
    return $(this).find("Name").text() == "AccountName";
});
var value = propertyData.length > 0 ? propertyData.find('Value').text() : '';

Since you are trying to retrieve user profile via SharePoint Web Services I would recommend to utilize SPServices library, it hides (almost)all the intricacies when working with SharePoint Web Services from JavaScript. The following example demonstrates how to retrieve user profile using GetUserProfileByName method and process the results:

function getUserProfile(accountName,completeFn) {
  var userInfo = {};
  $().SPServices({
    AccountName: accountName,  
    operation: 'GetUserProfileByName',
    completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
      $(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("PropertyData").each(function() {
        userInfo[$(this).find("Name").text()] = $(this).find("Value").text();
      }); 
      completeFn(userInfo);
    }
  });
}

var loginName = 'i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]';
getUserProfile(loginName,function(info){
    console.log(info);    
});

You have to traverse through the xml nodes returned from the SPServices. I have written a function for getting the desired user profile property.

function getUPValue(x, p) {  
   var thisValue = $(x).SPFilterNode("PropertyData").filter(function() {  
     return $(this).find("Name").text() == p;  
   }).find("Values").text();  
   return thisValue;  
 }

Further to query the user property you just need to call like below,

getUPValue(xData.responseXML, "WorkEmail");

These article provides a detail overview of it over here
