Therefore, Lutherans today, rejected some of Luther’s beliefs since they were too Catholic. I don’t have time to link to Luther’s remarks regarding the Eucharist and Mary, but if possible will do so in the future.

:)May the Lord be with you this day and always.

Lutheranism's doctrines if you will are not based on Luther's beliefs. They are based on Scripture, which is why the two instances referenced were not included. This happened while Luther was still alive. The beliefs referenced were rejected because they didn't have Scriptural warrant. The fact that they were 'too Catholic' is more an indictment of the Catholic view than that of the Lutheran view.
