Okay. There are really two separate issues:

1) Whether or not there is such a thing as inherent moral correctness.

2) Even if there is an inherent moral correctness, why adhere to it.

I am willing to argue that there is no inherent moral correctness; however, my main focus here is #2. It seems to me that you are saying that the existence of guilt is a proof that there is a moral correctness. (Would you say that the natural human feeling about certain aveiros makes them correct?) But it seems that you are also using guilt as the answer to #2. In which case you are essentially agreeing with me that there is no reason to do right simply because it is right. If you are not using guilt to answer #2 then you need a different explanation for why you should do the right thing.
