"randomly wanted to turn QQ into a bluff"

Not at all. I specifically said I was betting QQ on the Flop, because if it was good it would likely take it down. How do you interpret this as "turning it into a bluff"?

Meaning that, since you decided to shut down if called, you could have made that same bet with ATC. And some may think (me, too) that your hand has more value than that.

I think the problem here is that Villain could call with a bunch of stuff on the flop that you beat, and there's not a good reason to shut down on the turn. Also, there are draws out there. Thus, a shove is fine here, both for value and protection.
