The Septuagint is the Scripture Christ had. I don't find anything in the NT that says a portion of the Septuagint should be ignored but rather, references to the the Bible Christ had. How do you justify dropping seven books, books Christ would surely have singled out as something added in error if a) the Jewish leaders were guilty of adding to the Scripture when they shouldn't have done so or b) you were to base your belief on Scripture alone since not doing so leaves you free to refer to false Scripture? If you think he wouldn't have commented on an error of that magnitude in the Scriptures, then you're saying he had far less reverence for the Word than you do today.

Honestly, I don't understand the point of arguing that those books should have been dropped and do not understand why the were dropped when the early versions of the KJV included them. At some point, some group decided they didn't want to deal with what those books say and dropped them for no reason anyone has ever been able to explain or justify to me. I know exactly why the Jews dropped them, they're full of fulfilled prophecy that points clearly to Christ, more clearly than many other places in the OT, and those books were being used to lead a great many Jews to Christ.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm telling you you might want to read up on things a bit more or read some different sources. You might even want to read those books and look at the prophecy that is clearly fulfilled by Christ.

Regards

There is a ton of good reading on canon issues here:
