I liked the video, but you could improve on some things. You telegraph your lead leg roundhouses by stepping forward a little with your rear leg. Try leaning back a little before you throw your kick to shift your weight so you dont have to take the step. That works for me at least. Also, when you grab the bag and strike it with your knee, you land completly squared off, which isn't good. If you strike with your rear leg, land it in the same spot and if you wanna switch legs, switch them real quick and then drive the rear one forward. I'm dont do knees to much so i could be wrong, but thats how I do it.

Lead leg roundkicks usually have a quick switch-step and you usually hide any lead leg kick behind hands. There's also the step-up lead leg kick (more like a jab), but in that case, the rear leg does not step past the lead leg.
By stepping through, past his lead leg, he's over-cocking his hips and without hiding it behind hands: a good push kicker will put him on his hiney.
Your point about the knees is valid, but that's coz he's not putting his hips into them.
Looks like "average MMA guy" standup to me- no use of the hips, too tense, over muscling stuff, no sense of pacing, and dropping his hands in the middle of combos. For MMA he could probably even be real good, though compared to pure Thai or boxing the differences are blatant. The fact that he couldn't put together a SINGLE hand-foot combination is very telling.
The way he does certain things I'm wondering if he's a MMA-converted karate or kung fu guy.

and your shadowboxing combos are much better than the ones you did on the bag:

Still breathing hard by the 35 second mark, but at least putting hands & feet together.
