Well, what's wrong with landing on a non-Xed runway? Does an X on one
make the entire airport un-landable?
I mean, I know the airport is closed (for an airshow?) but legally,
isn't it o.k. to land an the runway you did?

It depends on where the X s are positioned.

If they are on both ends of a runway, it means that runway is closed. If
they are in the center of the airport, it means that the whole airport
is closed.

I had a similar experience at the Abbottsford Airshow in Canada in 1975.

They were accepting traffic on one runway distant from airshow center,
while the airshow was in progress, with no problems. You could not do
that in the US, as the whole airport would be NOTAMed as CLOSED.

Different rules for different countries!
