So you want to intentionally ignore the meaning of zombie and replace it with your own. We're talking about zombies here, not wannabe facsimilies and nicknames based on association with zombies.
Everything you listed is derivative of the core concept of zombie but you want to act like they stand on their own merit.
You yourself do not even know what it means, since you believe that a human being that eats human flesh with no higher brain function is just a normal old cannibal.
The modern concept of zombie is not the core concept, the Haitian folklore is. Concepts change over time, the concept of a zombie is no longer necessarily undead in today's fairytales. If you can't somehow wrap that around your head, then you are wasting both of our time and I don't see a reason to continue this conversation any further.
Perhaps you yourself are lacking higher brain functioning? Sounds like I'm talking to a zombie in denial.
You need a dictionary and a lesson in etymology more than you need to worry about the categorisation of derivative concepts of zombie.
If self awareness was a disease you'd be the healthiest person alive.
