Definitely improving, but don't forget that the post-processing is part of creating the image; without it, the image is only half finished. Two examples appended below illustrate that your WB is still considerably warmer than might be ideal...

Yes, over the last few I have seen a substantial Improvement in the quality of your photos. I do think however as John showed above, that your white balance tends too much to the warm side.

NO! No, no, NO!! NOT back to square one, just another step in the path of your progress. You don't learn every step all at once, You're getting the important steps, the in-camera steps sorted first which is the way to do it. The post-processing stuff, you can always go back and correct that later.

A few things that come to mind here:

1. What is your camera white balance setting? Auto, or something else?
2. Are you saving your images raw, then correcting WB post?
3. What software are you using for post editing?
4. Is your monitor calibrated?
5. When you save an image after post processing what are you saving as??

White balance can be confusing at first but unless there's something in the above questions throwing you off, it shouldn't be that difficult. Here is your last image on the left, with a WB corrected image on the right. Some clues for you to check yourself....look at the sky. Is the sky normally green or blue???? Look at the white line on the highway, should it be green or white?

A little too far the other way now...

How are you setting/correcting your WB?
