Probably because some of them (the ones without "!=") were *capture* filters, which would have let you avoid capturing traffic to or from ports 80 or 443 but, at least in Wireshark, wouldn't have let you filter traffic you've *already captured*, and the other one filtered out stuff decoded as HTTP or HTTP-over-SSL/TLS but wouldn't have filtered out traffic to ports 80 or 443 that was ACK-only (no content *to* decode as HTTP or HTTP-over-SSL/TLS) or was part of a reassembled HTTP message or SSL message (they're just shown as stuff reassembled later).

Yes, that's the right way to filter it out once you've captured the packets. The capture filters would help if you want to avoid even *capturing* "uninteresting" packets (TCP or UDP packets to or from port 443).
