Wow, that was even a thing? That runs counter to the entire purpose of the EU in the first place.

Which is basically why everyone is happy its going away, except for DonFerrari for some reason.

I'm not unhappy with stores either selling or not according to geoblock, I'm only pointing that this isn't something government should impose.

1 - It is no abuse for a store to determine the price it will sell or where it will sell.

2 - They are not forcing you to buy, they aren't allowing you to buy from another store. Which is different on essence. Since you can just refuse to buy at all.

3 - Yes sure, all the democracies work perfectly fine and all the laws are the will of its people, and they certainly know them all.

4 - I'm not making it any hard, why don't you take your time and also demand that a grocery store on Italy sell and ship a bread to germany?

Are we speaking the same language here??

1- As we agreed, the store can sell the product for whatever price it wishes. And it sells wherever it wants to sell. This regulation does nothing to negate that

2-"they aren't allowing you to buy from another store"They can't forbid a EU citizen to buy a product from a different EU country. That's the whole point of the regulation. Since you're from Brazil maybe this example will help. It would be like an online shop in Rio de Janeiro blocking users from Sao Paulo from purchasing products on their shop if they detect their IP address is from Sao Paulo.

3- Irrelevant point, no one here is talking about perfection, just the rule of law that we all agree to abide by in civilized societies. 

4- Another false equivalency. Are you doing it on purpose? The correct example would be a grocery store in Italy denying service to a german citizen when he tries to pay for the loaf of bread in their store.

Until you can't accept that government shouldn't rule whatever they please "because they were elected" all your points will point to "the government can so it must"

I am not in the EU but this is how I understand the situation using your Italian grocery store analogy: 
1.  Italian grocery store sells bread online and ships to bread lovers throughout Italy. 
2.  German bread lover says, "This bread is the best ever, send me some please!  I will pay the extra shipping, obviously."
3.  Grocery store says, "Fuck you!  But you can visit our partner website BreadForGermans.com where they sell the same bread for 50% more."
4.  EU says, "This is a single market.  Sell him his bread at regular price." 

Transforming the phone call into a website doesn't change the point either, the sole point is made on the unnecessary imposition from government. That people seem to think will make everything better.
