Brand recognition, i.e. money.
Because it all started in China with Kung Fu. The karate came later as an evolution of other influences. They may be two branches of the same tree, but Kung Fu is closer to the roots.
^ That and the fact that it's pretty much stated in the movie, ie two branches, one tree. Essentially means that most martial arts all follow similar philosophies even though their disciplines are markedly different. Here we see two very different disciplines come together, teaching the same core tenets.
Sure, but let's say it's MMA. Martial Arts Kid would simply not have the same ring, would it? 
Kung Fu Kid would have sounded kinda cool, though... 
Just wanted to type in real quick that i thought the Karate Kids Legends movie was fun, and my whole family enjoyed it.
Was Mr. Han "originally" like that? I thought he was a bit more serious, rather than feeling like a typical Jackie character from the 80's.
Loved the Cobra Kai tie-in. COuld i assume that was the last thing they filmed for Cobra Kai? Or Legends?
Also, there was a credit to DC COmics, who apparently hold the rights to the titel "Karate Kid" due to their creation.

The Cobra Kai writers were helping with this movie, which was part of making sure the movie didn't contradict anything, and perhaps it's also the reason it has a tie-in, and it sounds to me like it would have been filmed for Legends.
