I believe Scripture is quite clear...

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: (Col 2:16)
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (Col 2:17)

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. (Rom 14:5)
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. (Rom 14:6)

So, to take this thought to its logical conclusion;

2 Corinthians 5:17-19
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

If God gives no rules or guidance for how we are to live, but tells us to just "let no man judge you" or in other words that anything we want to is fine with God, just do as you want, then what does it mean when we are told to follow Christ, to sin no more, or told to celebrate with feasts for all generations that God gives us salvation?

He is saying to do as we want when it comes to types and shadows, not in areas of morality.

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: (Col 2:16)
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (Col 2:17)
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (Col 2:18)
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. (Col 2:19)
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Col 2:20)
(Touch not; taste not; handle not; (Col 2:21)
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? (Col 2:22)
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. (Col 2:23)

caveat: we are not to use our liberty as an occasion to stumble our weaker brothers.

Read Romans 14.

God didn't give "us" the feasts for all generations, because we aren't of the people of Israel to whom He gave the feasts.

The feasts are part of the Law, which was given to Israel, not to the gentiles, and not to the Church.
