Perhaps... but the Torah doesn't specify every last detail of the Seder.... It says certain things should be eaten and certain things should not. However, it says nothing one way or the other on eggs. Having eggs as part the Seder does not reject a commandment, because there is no commandment against it, even as there is nothing that demands it.

Most of the Jewish Seder meal is strictly tradition. Where in scripture are you finding requirements for a seder meal?

Problem is a lot of the commands in the Torah, could no longer be carried out when the Temple was destroyed. Many Jewish traditions, though not found in the Bible, are attempts to symbolically replace the Temple practices.
