The point in both Calvin's and Luther's case is that by their actions they did not object to man having authority over scripture, so long as it was them.

Not so. Since I believe infant baptism is Scriptural (although certainly not according to the RCC's idolatrous error of baptismal regeneration) I think both men's comments on baptism are Scriptural and correct.

The Anabaptists were part of the counter-Reformation and in very few ways resemble Reformed Baptists today.

The point was Luther rejected other’s interpretation of scripture.

Sola Scriptura is more rightly Mea Scriptura. Reformers merely replace one authority over scripture with their own.
