Nice, does that apply to the other Gods and or Angels
Yes it does. You could live a christian life without ever having heard of Jesus, Christianity or having read the bible. The term is not the thing itself. You don't have to call yourself a christian to be a christian. At the same time calling yourself a christian does not make you one.
Why bother being a Christian?
Christianity is a complete package and carving out the intricacies of the religion on your own just to avoid the term christianity would be a waste of time. You place too much emphasis on labels.

Then you won't mind me worshipping Christ, by calling him Yngve-Freyr!

Yeah, right, we should abandon all labels and just mix everything up, strange how you people go from extreme dogmatism to newagism in a blink of an eye.

I wouldn't, but it's rather pointless, isn't it? You'd distance yourself from other christians for no reason other than to be different.
Labels are important, but as i said they are not the thing they describe. If you don't have an understanding of the thing you are labeling, then the label is meaningless, which seems to be your problem.
