Why in Russia majotity of people are sure that American English is worse than British?

So... My English exams are going to be soon. I am competely ready to pass them. But I have one big problem. It all started few mouthes (Months) (Typo error)  ago. To prepare for (as the meaning says prepare for) my exams better I started to watch different movies and listen to music in English. But they all aren't British, they were American. They are much more interesting) And after some weeks teacher said to me that my English is too American and it's a big problem. I don't mean slang like wanna, gonna, I'mma, wit', y'all and so on. I use it only when I talk with some my friends, they use it too and it's very comfortable. So I ment favorite (not favoUrite), traveling (not travelLing), gray (not grEy), program (not programME) and other things like this. So I think it's absolutely unfair and they don't have any (negative always use any in an identified articles) right to correct me when I say hood or candy (they say that I have to say bonnet and sweet). So I don't agree. I belive that this types of English are equal and American variant isn't wrong. Want to know if you're agree with me. Please check me out and write me your opinion) Thank you in advance!
