After replacing rear brake pads and bleeding system, it sounds like a half air in the brakes and pedal goes to the floor.

This can be one of two problems, either the master cylinder has gone out or you have air stuck in the ABS controller. I would try to open the ABS valves first which is done with a scanner.

Here is a video of the job being done which the procedure will be the same for your car:

If this does not help, here is how to bleed the new master cylinder before you install it and instructions below to see how the job is done on your car.
