Amercanizing isn't necessarily bad, even with American names.

Tim to Jim (The Office) was the most pointless change ever. Literally everything else I could kinda understand. Granted, Being Human was also pretty bad since it turned George to Josh and Annie to Sally (Aidan I was on-board with, though, although I also liked Mitchell.)

Now making an adult character now in highschool when he was a country bumpkin, is kind of stupid.

If you're referring to DBE, Goku wasn't an adult character when he met Bulma. He was still in his early-to-mid teens. Granted, making him a high schooler didn't do him any favors since a lot of the comedy from the original series was misunderstanding how things worked and that could have transferred over to the movie.

But that happens all the time, though. Like when American cartoons reinterpret the entire X-Men team into teenagers, or something like Ikki Tousen recontextualizes the entirety of Romance of the Three Kingdoms into modern high school girls fighting and showing off 100+ panty shots per episode.

There's pretty strong precedent for having the X-Men be teens since the original team started out fairly young and they routinely have teenages on the roster. Even when they do stuff like Evo, though, some characters like Wolverine will be adults.
