I mean with things like sex trafficking, labor trafficking, etc. IMO it should be called slavery, and those affected need to be rescued from slavery.

A pimp enslaves people

The Tate Brothers (allegedly) enslaved people.

IMO, referring to sex/labor trafficking to slavery will show it just how evil it actually is.

Human trafficking is the trading of slaves

Then why aren't we calling it slave trading?

    What do you call transporting groups of people for money, when the only restraint is that the state doesn't want those people where you are taking them?

    Not both. There is a massive moral difference between these two cases.

    Legal and moral only rarely overlap, and usually by accident.

    To the contrary. Most of legal framework is built on top of moral one

    There's a lot of hand waving to morality. When it comes to actual enforcement and application, it's a system of control used on the populace. Morality only gets applied when outrage reaches pressure points.

    not every trafficked human is a slave!

    a refugee may pay a human trafficker to be smuggeled over the border to another nation

    a rougue parent may kidnap a child from the other parent and traffick it away, the child may even approve btw

    so these example show my point I think

    Then not every trafficker is criminal. So why is human trafficking considered a bad thing in itself? From your own post: Slavery is bad. Abductions are bad. But trafficking alone isn't.
