How do you reconcile your first statement with the se cond? In the first one you say that, decisively, there is no thing as a Bidah Hassanah but then in your second you acknowledge Ikhtilaaf. Given that you are not a scholar, can't you simply say that I make Taqleed of the view that there is no Bidah Hassanah, when you know ikhtilaaf exists, rather than making a declaration that a particular view is correct over another?

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

I said Bida'ah Hasana is non-existent it is an Ijtihad of the scholars, there is no Quranic verse or Hadith saying "bida'ah is of two kinds", just like there is no proof in Shari'ah that making Tajseed of the Sahaba in a TV drama is Haram, yet we find Ikhtilaf and we acknowledge it.
If you are making Taqleed of a Madhab which adopts limited or controlled types of religious Bida'ah supervised by the scholars of the Madhab, then you can either take part in them or leave them, it's not Wajib that you practice the Bida'ah Hasana, also acknowledging the Ikhtilaf does not mean you do not lean towards one of the two opinions which is my case above I lean towards abandoning it.
