the word but implies the negative of the earlier point.

generally: ABC but on the contrary XYZ

You were using it in places where you weren't disagreeing with the early point. It's still readable but it's better to use "and" instead. That way when you bridge points and don't want to be disagreeing with them people will understand what you are saying better.
