I was baptised as a baby because my mom is just into traditions and she thinks it's beautiful. Not a religious reason at all. My dad was against it though, he doesn't think it's fair to make a child's religious decisions. There isn't a consent and neither an understanding of it. I agree with him...

Honestly, I don't get why it matters. It's not like your actually locked in to being a Christian of that denomination you were baptized in. It's not like them sterilizing you at birth or anything. It just keeps an option open for you until you decide whatever you want to do.

And why would it have been any different if I wasn't baptised? I still could have chosen later on, except that nothing would have been forced on me. I would rather have nothing to do with any kind of religous things until I was old enough to decide for myself.

Unless you died before you were old enough to decide for yourself. Not that it seems to matter in your particular case... but in most cases when you argue "my parents shouldn't of baptized me".
What you are asking them is largely.... "Why did you make a choice that would make sure if I died we'd spend forever together rather then wait 15 years or so until I could make up my own mind."
In your case, it was just a cerimony... that literally effected you in no real way. It'd be like being upset you were thrown a birthday party at 1 when you were too early to decide if you liked birthday parties.
