The passage which you quote from Colossians was written by Paul to warn Christian converts not to be swayed by Jewish teachers regarding dietary law, amongst other things. It's relevance here escapes me.
The Rosary, on the other hand, is a prayer in which we meditate on the lives of Christ and His Mother. Meditative prayer has a long history in the Church and is most certainly not "superstition".

it works as sola excerptura where one excerpts bits and pieces out of the bible out of context.

He just following their tradition of quoting from Boettner's "Roman Catholicism", the bible of anti-Catholicism, and he probably doesn't even know it.
I can't understand why our Protestant brothers keep on quoting Boettner, since it's been shown to be so inaccurate as to be silly.
