I wish I had the time to expose the glaring loopholes in your simplistic surmise of not following a madhdhab (taqlid), but frankly the simplistic Muslims of our times represent a minute fringe that is only eroding in numbers and strength as the oil wells dry out.
Kindly note that the quotation that you give is actually the saying of Imam Al-A'zam Abu Hanfiah (rah). The quotation of Imam Shafi'i (rah) in this regard is: “If I say something, then compare it to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger and if it agrees to them, then accept it and that which goes against them, then reject it and throw my saying against the wall”. You can find this in the Majmu' of Imam Nawawi (who was himself a muqallid of the Shafi'i madhdhab).
Have you EVER bothered reading the book of rijal? These are the books of biographies of the people/scholars of Islam from the times of Rasulullah (SAW) till present? You clearly havent. Had you read them you would know that EVERY SINGLE one of them followed a madhdhab! From Imam Bukhari to Imam Nawawi to Ibn Hajr Al-'Asqalani to Mullah Ali Qari to even Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullahu anhum ajma'een). For example, Ibn Taymiyyah's name is given as Taqiyiuddin abul Abbas Ahmad ibn Abdul Halim ibn Abdus Salam ibn Taymiyyah Al-Harrani Al-Hanbali in the books of biography such as Tadhkirah Al-Huffaz by Imam Dhahhabi. Clearly, your understanding of the statements of Ash-Shafi'i and Abu Hanifah is in stark contrast to the vast majority of Muslims.
Moreover, Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani reproduces - in Ibn Taymiyyahs own handwriting - a manuscript where Ibn Taymiyyah himself states in categoric terms that he a muqallid of the hanbali madhdhab. You can find this manuscript in Al-'Asqalani's book that enumerates the scholars of the 8th century Hijri, Durar Al-Kaminah. Let me know if you are interested in page numbers and references.
Now, if Ibn Taymiyyah (rah) was a follower of a madhdhab then are you telling us that you are more knowledgeable than your own imam?? Ma sha Allah. Sahih kehtay hain log, daulat insaan ko andha kardeti hai. In daulat kay pujariyon key taqlid (and you are doing just that whether you admit or not) aap ko mubarak ho.

If I'm neutral I would have liked the video Alhamdulillah I try k best to follow Quran & Hadith as Imam Shafi said" Sahih Hadith is my madhab" & that doesn't mean i follow Shafi madhab
