Hi snakelegs.
If you've seen most of the acts of shirk which have taken place in history, most have only taken place as acts of 'disliked activities' - yet if one was to persist in this, then many generations later this is likely to turn into an innovation in the religion, and from innovations come other aspects which usually lead to shirk (associating partners with God in worship.)
So we have to turn away from the disliked to save the future generations from any deception the shaytaan (satan) may cause. Just try to remember this famous saying; give shaytaan an inch, and he'll be a ruler.
He just wants us to do one act of innovation per generation, and then the future generations are likely to increase in the innovations, and then usually fall into shirk. As you can see in the story of Prophet Noah, the story of the Christians, and even people from among the Muslims who have fallen into similar. And Allaah knows best.
Peace.
