Hi and welcome to the forum!

Hello,

I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist church, and although I am not worthy to be called one, I cannot deny what I have learned from their resources. 

I am familiar with all of their doctrines, and I would like to say that they are unique to the rest of Christendom, despite the amalgamation of many of their sectors into common religions.

I'm not familiar with your religion so I'm curious, what's the difference between Seventh Day Adventists and other Christian sects, aside from the day of the week that you choose to meet?

Also, why does it matter what day you meet on in the first place?

It may matter to some people what day is to be kept holy.

The Catholic church is quite upfront about its standing on this issue - it claims that the church or pope has the God given authority to make or change the rules, and it does not say that the Sabbath of the Bible is Sunday. 
The view of Sunday sacredness is common with the rest of Christendom, but the Catholic church has called them on it. Because the Protestants said that they stood by the Bible, and so the Catholic church refuted their claim on the basis of the writings of the Bible which uphold the 7th day Sabbath.

The RCC then turned on the Protestants and said that their "reformation" was "nothing more than a rebellion," to which they rescinded and gave their allegiance to the Pope. 
Of course they did not have to.

That's about right, the 7th day is called "Sabado" or Shabbat, Sabbath etc in many different languages. Sunday, or the venerable day of the Sun god was adopted by the world church, or Catholic church, and has remained in place ever since. The Christian world kept the 7th day, until Sunday became compulsory by the end of the fourth century.
It was initially a political move by the Roman emperor, who became the Bishop of Rome, to get the votes of both the Pagan and Christian majorities.

So... what else is there to those SDAs, besides celebrating stuff on Saturday instead of Sunday?

Nearly every doctrine is different. There are people in the SDA organisation who have worked hard to hide or remove those obvious differences, by ensuing a watered down or fake version for each point. And over the past 120 years they have apparently succeeded in weakening and dividing the church, and creating a more pliable and blended church.

The first and foremost subject is whether the Son of God, was God and became fully human. There are a few different degrees on this as expected.
The RCC church teaches the immaculate conception, the apostate Protestants teach that he had "holy flesh" and was not fully human like us. The Bible teaches that he took on our weakened and easily tempted human nature, and overcame every obstacle, by the same means available to ordinary human beings.
