In Spanish there are some expressions to show disagreement with something previously expressed. In this link you can search for the expression ni qué ocho cuartos, used in a very similar way to what you heard:
¡Qué buenas ni qué ocho cuartos!
Another similar expression is ni qué niño muerto:
¡Qué buenas ni qué niño muerto!
Probably, the day you said "¡buenas!" (or maybe "¡buenas tardes!") to that person, there was a bad weather, or maybe that person was not having a good day at all, so he/she just showed disagreement (maybe in an angry way). The expression ni qué nada is similar to those mentioned, just shorter.
