The answer

Using the phrase "made my day" is permissible and there is no objection to it, because "making" (صنع) refers to an action, and the one who says it does not intend "creation" (الخلق), but rather influence and bringing joy. Furthermore, this phrase is interpreted according to the speaker's intention, provided it is not used for objectionable matters.
