you shouldn't.
Leave it be....you're not making white wine here....it's beer...be careful, and it'll be fine.

Steps to a clear beer:
My blonde ale was my clearest beer to date because i did all of the following:
Try doing a search for "Fining Agents" or "Finings" and you will get some other info.
- Use fining agents in the boil (Irish Moss, Whirfloc)
- Chill quickly after the boil to form a good cold break
- Let it sit in the primary for 3 weeks or longer
- Use gelatin in the primary(way after fermentation) or secondary

I do everything you list but skip the finings and use a cold crash 3 day prior to kegging.
I never filter or use finings and my beers are crystal clear.
I know some people have filters for beer and wine, but I'm a little leery of them. They are probably fine, but I think if they strip things (protein particles, yeast, etc) out of the beer that they might affect flavor.
