"Good morning" w/ no "Good After"#CorpAm

Okay to my H.A. constituents,
I have an important question: why am I being chastised for saying "Good Morning", "Good Afternoon" and "Good Evening" (based on the time of day) in different emails sent to the same multiple CC'ed people?
I received an IM from a guy whom never speaks to me, and he's Black. Now he's doing the sambo lapdog work of telling me that he's all for being cordial
but I only need to say "Good Morning" [once per day] and to never say "Good Afternoon" or "Good Evening" after just to tee it off.
Why is it when I worked with some Filipino workers stateside that their "redundant" cordiality wasn't a problem?
On the contrary, why is it a problem saying good morning? I can't think of anything else to say when I readdress the person (whom is the direct recipient) in the CC mails because I'm speaking to a man, so I don't want to say "Dear such-and-such"....and I don't like saying "Such-and-such's name-- [line break] The beginning of the message.....rest of the message" because it seems like I have a direct tone with them.
Corporate America common-practice is so devoid of etiquette. Please don't tell me that "It's like that".....if I wanted to hear that, I'd listen to Run-DMC.
