Technically, you are correct. I agree that the admonitions apply specifically to those books. However, the concept can be broadened to include other books and even other compilations of books. The idea is that we should not usurp a position whereby we presume to add to or take away from a work of God. It seemed to me that you were doing this kind of extrapolation when you argued from these passages that God would not warn against removing parts if it were not possible. I assume that you were referring to other parts of the Bible besides just Deuteronomy and Revelation. I agree with your point and your extrapolation, and added a reminder that the admonition warns against additions as well as exclusions. Now I am the one confused why you are going back on your extrapolation when it suits your cause. Peace be with you.
