Calling the true dicots with 4-5 merous flowers "Core Eudicots" is
redundant and unnecessary.

Since it is a distinct clade it deserves a distinct name.
"Core Eudicots" may not be a thing of beauty, but is unambiguous

What is needed is a term to describe the primitive 3-merous false dicots!!

All the basal clades do have names.
BTW There is no such thing as "false dicots"
Although it has lost quite a bit of luster as a hypothesis for a natural
grouping, "dicot" is still a name in current usage and none of the plants
belonging to it are false. They all do exist.
