Normally, when I'm not planning to tip, I ask if they have change for whatever bill I have. So, I can well understand that someone would think you were paying extra for a job very well done. He did ask you and you didn't reply with wanting any change back, so I think he was totally correct in thinking you wanted him to have the entire bill.
