If they all plot together why do we use 'celtic' and 'germanic'?

Celtic and Germanic are ethnolinguistic terms, not genetic terms. So no, they shouldn't be dropped. Also, not all Celtic and Germanic people were NW European (especially in ancient times).

Celtics are not only related to Northwest Europeans, sorry.

No, because Celts encompassed parts of Southern Europe as well, most notably Iberia and N. Italy. Some of that cultural influence is still present today.

No because it makes most northern european countries seem more racially "pure" than they actually are. For example, english are a mix of celtic, normans, anglo saxons, some viking, a bit roman etc.

Sure, but the Brits and Irish have nothing to do with any of the Celtic regions on the continent, apart from Brittany (where actual Brits who migrated live) they don't plot with any Celts at all. Maybe Brits/Irish should not call themselves Celts. Maybe they need a new name?

Good to hear and see you are letting me off lightly with this one. I take your warning as a learning experience.

Because, they're fine being used as they say they are now, Celts and Germanics are different, Mr. Martnen.

So as to not subsume two instances of vaguness within a greater vagueness, IMO.
