Your arguments suggest that you perceive Two-Nation theory quite differently than it should be reasonably perceived. "Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations with their separate identities. Therefore, the glaring differences preclude their peaceful coexistence in a demographic such as that present in the (prepartition) subcontinent."
It was mostly religion combined with the diverse socioeconomic factors of that time that resulted in the genesis and evolution of the TNT. Had Hindus not made their prejudice apparent and based their persecution and oppression solely on religious grounds, TNT would never have come into existence.
As for all the examples you are citing (secessionist movements), presence of prejudice and persecution can be argued in all of these to be the causative factor. But none of it is based on religion.
TNT never said that Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations, and if Muslims get a separate state they would always live happily ever after. No ethnic, provincial or linguistic conflicts would ever arise among them and they would always be united. TNT is just limited to this: "Muslims and Hindus are two different nations, they cannot coexist in harmony in the circumstances prevailing in the Indian subcontinent (referring to the prepartition period)".
