That's an interesting take on buddhism. Are you sure that you've described the meaning of anatta properly, and what leads you to conclude that reincarnation and rebirth are not analogous concepts?
For example, if I were to suggest that anatta means that there is no underlying singular substance to self, but that the transcendent immaterial consciousness we are can be reborn with karmic responsibilities, what would the functional difference between that and having a reincarnating soul actually be, as concepts?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
