Jesus said "the Sabbath was made for mankind not mankind made for the Sabbath" Mark 2:27 which speaks to the making of Both the Sabbath and mankind-- just as we see in Genesis 1 - Genesis 2:3
He then says "The Son of man is LORD of the Sabbath" Mark 2:28
Neither of those statements say "stop keeping the seventh as you find it in scripture". Rather they appear to be two excellent reasons to keep it.
The Sabbath was made for humanity speaks of the benefit the law has for humanity. Whether Jesus healed on that day, or his disciples ate grain on that day, it was good because it was for the good of people. I see you are really more interested in the letter of the law than its function for the good of humans. What's the purpose of the law?
If the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath, then we can't go wrong worshiping our Lord on the day he rose again. This is why some early Christians referred to it as the eighth day, the day of the new creation. Instead of thinking about it in terms of abrogating the Sabbath day, it looks more like fulfillment, to me.
