dude - you're wrong in this sense: You want him to be a Rebel so it makes YOU feel better about going against EVERY Grain you want. You feel like you can identify him; like God has set YOU apart from all others as the Champion of HIS cause.
Dude - I pray for you more than anyone I've met online. You CAN get through these clouds of conspiracy and shadows. It's SO easy - Christs' message. The plan is SIMPLE and ANYONE can come to know God. There's NO need for hidden meanings, worry of false-teachings (when the bible is available to everyone), or stress.
DID Jesus rebel against the Pharasees? Okay. Sure. Do you wanna call him a "rebel" because of it? Sure. Enjoy that. The bottom line is "It doesnt matter."
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
It doesn't matter what "most people" think. It doesn't matter if "most people" consider Jesus to be a rebel. What matters it what is going on in that person's heart. Jesus lived a life of perfect submission. He said time and again, "I only go where the Father tells me to go, I only do what the Father tells me to do." There was NO rebellion in his heart.

And healing on the sabbath...and whatever else he did to open the eyes of the pharasees; but his goal was NOT to rebel - God did NOT call him to Rebel - that wasn't His purpose. His purpose was simple: To BE the way from Earth, to Heaven for all mankind.
During that process, some religious leaders got their feelings hurt. Fine.
