I noticed this note at the bottom of the vaccine schedule you posted.

"Note: This schedule is the one I recommend and should not be interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory. It's a matter of professional judgment and choice. For breeds or families of dogs susceptible to or affected with immune dysfunction, immune-mediated disease, immune-reactions associated with vaccinations, or autoimmune endocrine disease (e.g., thyroiditis, Addison's or Cushing's disease, diabetes, etc.) the above protocol is recommended."

So, while I am not endorsing any vaccine protocol, it should be noted that the fact that your vet disagrees doesn't necessarily mean they don't know what they're doing. For example, as noted in the schedule referenced above, it can vary by state. Some diseases are not rampant in some states, thus vaccines not required. Bottom line, its always best to learn from top veterinary experts in your own area regarding the recommended vaccines & dewormers. Anything else is just a general guideline.
