You should use that argument also on your own usage of the word

using the word agnostic in a somewhat different sense than you do.

I'm not claiming a single usage. Nor am I saying that people are
wrong
for using different usages.

So then you don't object to my usage of these words?
Atheist = someone who claims there is no god

That is, in fact, empirically incorrect in terms of how the word is
actually used in the wild. You would be hard pressed to find an
atheist who makes that claim.

Agnostic = someone who claims we don't know if there is a God or not

That is a common usage of the term. I only object to the extant that
it's a poor choice of words when that's what you mean, because it has
enough other meanings that your own intent is ambiguous. If you want
to choose a clearer, more accurate word here, use "skeptic".
