Opening your hand in front of the face of somebody is considered very rude and it is like saying "fuck you".

A Wikipedia article about this

I am not sure if you mean that though. And no the waving gesture is not considered rude at all.

A thank you wave in USA is an open hand ๐Ÿ‘‹ and very subtle to no shake. I can see how it would look like the insulting gesture.

Thanks!
