Did they develop a class-conscious caste system here? Did they restrict religious practice (which, for the most part, was the same except for very subtle differences)? Did they establish a monarchical or dictatorial government without free elections? NO. So they DIDN'T take most of their old-world customs with them.

Yes, they DID take most of their customs with them. It's a myth that all of the colonies were places of religion freedom and the like. Many of the colonies had state religions and/or dictatorial governments and lost those practices only after the Revolution. Various odious practices lasted even longer than that.
