Did I say "*%&*#@!!!!" ?
the frame is alum (Felt F70).
have i screwed my bike frame?
or have i just dented my my beautiful-not-yet-6-mos-old bike?
Heck no. I did a very similar thing. Except I took an old aerobar extension to it. A solid whack to the top tube (same bike as yours, same size dent) and she still rides great. You should be fine.

Mechanically and structurally it should be fine.
If you are in doubt e-mail Felt or stop by your LBS.
Otherwise,
Dents and scratches add a little character :D
Nothing to it, but to do it
