I feel RIPPED OFF....

Sure you've saved some money, but it appears to me that you didn't perform the job properly either. You didn't change the air filter and you didn't flush the brakes hydraulic system properly, since you used only 1/2 of the brake fluid.

2yr service is most likely 30k yeh?

Air filter normally isn't done till 60k at dealer
If you buy 1L brake fluid, that's more than enough.
Most dealerships will only drain half that during the job. I've even seen guys sucking out the brake fluid reservoir and refilling it without bleeding the brakes at all when time's are tight.
That's the way stuff happens sometimes.

The only problem with DIY is resale value, because unless you're buying off a mechanic with receipts for parts, it's too risky for most buyers.

I think it depends on the individual when it comes to DIY maintenance. I sold my old forester where I did all the work on it (except some hard things like bushings as I don't have a press), kept all the receipts of parts (oil, filters, etc) and kept a detailed log on my computer of work done. The guy who bought it was a car guy and we both knew each other knew a fair bit about cars so he was happy. I think if you have receipts and the car is well looked after its no different to a mechanic if it's outside of warranty. No receipts is a totally different story.

Air filter is done every 45K.
