Maybe you should simply text back, 'Thanks, Dad. You too.' He's wishing you well, that's all.

As for attending the seder, I think you're right not to go. There's a world of difference between exchanging greetings of a religious nature and attending a religious festival in which you do not believe. If your parents understand how you feel, they should be able to accept a simple moed tov and let it go.
