JazakAllahu Khairun.
I hate to say this but you've misunderstood what I said.
Like I said, this is a rule from our Shariah and I didn't make this up myself. Scholars will tell you the same thing.
For the actions being halal until specifically made haraam, you can look at how halal and haraam in food works. In the Quran, Allah only tells us which foods are haraam and anything which doesn't fall into haraam is halaal.

Well, your above statement is wrong. Quran tells of both Halal and Haram:

Who told you that? (please do not quote Quran without at least trying to read Quran yourself. Quran mentions Halal and Haram regarding foods at many places).
Actually, Quran mentions both halal and haram.
Read the following Ayahs: [Lawful = halal and forbidden = haram)
Quran:
Surah 5: ayah 1
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations. Lawful unto you (for food) are all four-footed animals, with the exceptions named: But animals of the chase are forbidden while ye are in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb: for Allah doth command according to His will and plan.
Surah 5: ayah 3
YUSUFALI: **Forbidden to you (for food) are: **dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
[Though by default, it is not regarding only food but regarding everything, is that, whatever is not clearly mentioned in Islam as forbidden (that includes Quran and Hadith) are allowed]
Regarding act of worship (Ibadah):
[quote]
With regards to acts of worship, first is you are thinking that fard and nafil are different acts of worship. I can do fard Salah or nafil Salah, they are both the same act of worship which is Salah.
[/quote]
Obviously, they are different. One is obligatory and other is not :).

A side note, fasting all year round is haraam. The most one is allowed to fast is every other day, ie. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays, and so on. We know this from the hadith narrated by Abdulluah bin Amr radiAllahuanhu where Muhammad salAllahualaihiwasallam told him to fast like Dawud alaihisalaam which was every other day. The same hadith talks about reading the Quran in 3 days or less is not allowed and so on.
[/quote]
I do not know where you are learning Islam? Who told you that fasting continuously is haram and who told you that reading Quran in 3 days or less is not allowed? Anyone who told you that is only misguiding you. Only thing regarding fasting is that one should not put too much pressure on oneself beyond one can bare, thus it is recommended that instead of fasting continuously for too long, it is best to fast in short numbers. Fasting is only haram on few days, that is on Eid days (one day of Eid-ul-Azha and three days of Eid-ul-Zuha) and on doubtful day (that is 30th of Shabaan), that is all. As for Quran, there is nothing wrong in reading Quran within 3 days.

So, by act of worship what is meant is something that was legislated in the Quran or Sunnah. These acts include salah, sawm, zakah, sadaqa, hajj, umra, dhikr, dua, etc. I cannot create a new act of worship. Going to the example of the people of Nuh alaihisalaam, they created idols of the righteous amongst them so that it would remind them of doing good deeds, some would say this was a good practise or a good innovation. A while later, possibly a few generations, this practise turned into idol worship. Even though this was done initially with good intentions and for the sake of Allah and it was a good practise, this in long run lead to shirk. My source on this is "Stories of the Prophets" by ibn Kathir.

It seems that you are getting misguided by *edited* acting as Muslims, but their only purpose is to misguide innocent Muslims into kufr. I advice you that not to mix worshiping non-Muslims [like people of Nuh (AS)] and try to impose that on Muslims. People of Nuh (AS) was doing Shrik, and as long as a person is not involved in Shrik so do not compare them with Muslims.
Shrik is state of Iman (intention) where one believes that someone or something (be they dead or alive, idol or object) has its own power and can do a thing regardless of the will of Allah. No Muslim believes that any thing or object can do a thing without the will of Allah. To even think or accuse someone of shrik or compare them (who are Muslim and are not doing shrik) with mushrik, is kufr and make that accuser a Kafir.
Regardless, what you mentioned of acts that are mentioned in Quran and Sunnah, you should know that it is not necessary that all that is sunnah (used to be practiced by Prophet (SAW) and Sahabas) is recorded, rather most of it is coming to present day Muslims from generation to generation. Regardless, still even if it was recorded (though it was not), there is nothing wrong of an act as act of worship even if it was not practiced during the time of Prophet (SAW).
Actually, there are hundred of examples of action of ibadah (worship), that is present day act, never existed at the time of prophet (SAW), still they are act of worship to Allah (ibadah).
I will use few examples that even a layperson could understand those acts and would confirm that it is ibadah (because it is an act done for the sake of Allah).
Example: A medical surgeon doing necessary surgery free to needy, for the sake of Allah. His action of surgery is Ibadah. Anyone that thinks that it is not ibadah because such act was not even known during the time of Prophet (SAW) are misguided. What you think? Is his act of doing Surgery for sake of Allah, Ibadah or not?
[Note: I heard of a heart specialist (and heart surgeon) that goes to Pakistan (from USA) every now-and-then and does free surgery there for the sake of Allah (there are people in Karachi, who arranges everything for him before he gets there). All his visits are unpaid rather he takes medicine and other materials what he needs with him that he provides to the patient free. He considers that Ibadah, as his act is all dedicated to Allah. And, obviously his act is Ibadah and those who do not consider it Ibadah, is misguided]
A person opens an orphanage for sake of Allah. Is that ibadah or not? There is no mention of opening and orphanage during the time of prophet (SAW) or even later. During those days orphan were taken care by close relatives or someone volunteering adopting the orphans. Regardless, there is no mention of opening an orphanage in Quran or Hadith (where orphans are raised having no association of relationship with anyone looking after them). Anyhow, is opening an orphanage for sake of Allah, not ibadah (good deeds)?
Well, using internet to propagate Islam, if that is done with good intention and for the sake of Allah (and Islam) alone, is worship (ibadah). Now was this act of using internet to propagate Islam, an act that is mentioned in Quran or Hadith and if not, are this act not Ibadah?
Well, if you will go to real Ulema (not Ulema of **edited), they will tell you that anything good that one does for the sake of Allah (intention is to do a thing for Allah alone) than whatever that action be, that action is Ibadah (worship of Allah) regardless of that particular action was ever done by anyone before or not.**
