Sorry, but you do come across as a whiner and a PITA. Your original story about your classes is not convincing that your interpretation is correct.
Imagine you were on the other side, a TA trying to grade the exercises. Instead of doing what was asked and showing that they've mastered the particular method that was taught, a student decides that they can't be bothered to follow the instructions, and don't solve the problem using the particular method (thereby proving knowledge transference) but instead "solve" the problem using a slightly different method, slightly different library calls, etc. Causing the TA to have to verify a one off special case using a grading system that was designed for another solution method. That's being a PITA, and if you do it a lot you get a reputation.
Your other complaints are similar in scope. You somehow got into your head that things should be a certain way in university, should be taught a particular way, and that the facts offered to you should be replaced with alternative facts, where you got those facts nobody knows. And you are closed off to the knowledge you are being given. And your complaining and refusal to follow instructions makes it hard for the university employees to do quality control on your state of knowledge. On top of that, you call people incompetent without being qualified in any way to make that claim, since you're just a difficult and failing student. And then you challenge the outcomes. Basically the modus operandi of a whiner.
That's how you come across in that story. You may be an amazing person when unconstrained to live in normal society, I don't know. My advice is don't mention this story in interviews, it will do you no favours.
