I don't want to have the action= tags in the .osm file and I also don't want to have any id's changed etc. How can I save it this way? I'm going to process the file locally with other tools and therefore don't need and want this extra information.

If you made the edits in josm then you will get the modified flags.
you can just strip them out with a little command line magic.

sed -e 's;action='delete';;g'  -e 's;action='modify';;g' test.osm

that will strip out the delete and modify action.s from an osm file.
