Same goes for the Apocrypha. Though it is not the inspired word of God many truths are expounded there. We don't accept them because during that time there was no word from God through a prophet as such called the silent years. Ever heard of the Maccabees?
Where do we get the culture and customs from? Many writings that are historical records. We study these though they are not the word of God. Do you have Josephus or Eusebius the father of church history on your book shelve. These are a good study though you should not equate them to the Word of God.
Tell me where the additional detail comes from that is added to the New Testament that not found in the Old. You probably have never studied that.

The Mishnah, Talmud, and others are not God's Word nor inspired! You cannot claim the law the Patriarchs had or was given was that of the Mishnah and others. Not even Messianic Jews would say that. What is true in the Oral Law is pure speculation on our part.
Your point on Revelations is your own speculation. There is plenty of historical precedents that Revelations is authentic. If you want to argue 2 Peter, Esther or 3rd John as noncanonical then I might give you a ear.
