About the term "Kamli Wala" that us Muslims use for the Prophet of Islam(saw) I have heard that the Hindu God Krishna was also called that. If so, would not be better if we did not use it.

Mono theist religions emerged from polytheism...almost every belief and practice of islam can be tracked back to paganism...

So i wouldn't be worried about nomenclature.
 
One of the Prophet PBUH's names/titles is Mudassir, literally he who drapes himself in a cloak. One of the early Meccan chapters in the Quran is titled Al-Mudassir, because after the first revelation in the cave, he rushed back home, and was in such a state of awe that he felt cold and draped himself in that black cloak.
