To really know how appropriate, or inappropriate, your solution was, and evaluate the "fairness" of the grade, I'd have to understand the context of the class you are taking, and know more about the Instructor's assignment.

On the most general level (based on the information you provide here), I'd say your solution is definitely not what was asked for, and also "too clever by half."

If I were your Instructor, I'd just ask you to redo the assignment in a simpler way; I wouldn't give any grade. I'd do this based on my perception that you are (probably) curious, eager, and you did (probably) more work than other students. I'd rather have a student who is "swept away" in enthusiasm, but makes an error in judgement, than have a student who just does what is required with no enthusiasm ! But, your Instructor may have a completely different mind-set.

You are the only person who can answer the question: "Did you decide to use a Stack because you concluded, for logical reasons, it was the best way to implement the solution, or did you do this because you wanted to 'show off'?"

In any case, your Instructor does have the right to hold you accountable for mastery of the "fundamentals."

Why not talk to your Instructor about your project, trying to be as non-confrontational as possible ?
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009
