Nothing in any rule book I've seen says you can't touch home on the way to first. The only thing I can think of that is even close is that you can't run the bases in reverse order for the purpose of making a travesty of the game or confusing the defense. Perhaps the ump thought the defense was confused when the batter stepped on home. 
"What? How'd he get home already? He just hit the ball! What do we do next?"
And if the umpire was watching the play, I don't know how he would have seen a foot hit home anyway.

Next someone's going to tell me that it's an out to carry your bat to first base.
Where does this garbage come from?
