OK then, I withdraw my criticism, and rephrase it to convey the opinion that this composition sounds more like bad Bach pastiche than an exciting, neo-baroque composition. The answer to your question, based on prior peer-review, seems to be that it is not obvious you weren't striving to emulate the baroque tradition. Triumphantly changing your declared stance as a composer doesn't alter the quality of the piece. Its intention was not obvious from aesthetic structure.
It sounds like some strange flavour of baroque, not something sufficiently different to be classed alongside Penderecki or Hindemith, both of whom made leaps and bounds away from bog-standard baroque. This is a step Bachwards, and I rather liked it. I don't think it's quite as clear in intention as you're making out though.
