If you use a DHCP client,besides the configuration you need to post also the output of commands:
and
so that we can see also the Dynamic part of the configuration.
What you posted till now seems fine, with the exception of the firewall, I would advise you to start from the default settings that the Mikrotik soho devices have, see here:

Usuallly new users firewall rules tend to be either too strict or too wide, and besides, if you get familiar withe concept of interface lists your configurations if not "better" will be more "flexible".
About network addresses there are - as always happens - different schools of thought, personally I like any device that is physically "static" (routers, switches, desktop PC's, NAS. printers, etc.) to have static addresses and whatever is physically "mobile" (including laptop PC's connected by wire that can be moved from one room to the other) dynamically assigned, but of course one can use DHCP with some static addresses reserved/assigned by MAC.
As I see it with everything demanded to a DHCP server If the DHCP server (that usually is also the router) fails, you not only have not anymore internet connection, you cannot even print or move files inside your lan (if the lease ends or of the device has been switched on or connected after the failure).
