This is discussing with people who actually make this stuff not some guy reading from webster and purposely misunderstanding the word to fit their purpose like you are doing.
Again:
Remake: A straight re-telling of a story for the purpose of updating it for a contemporary audience, or making it accessible to a different culture or region.
A remake implies different actors, new technology, etc. That is the new parts.
It is not a drastic reimagining of the plot.
That is called a:
Re-Imagining: A re-telling of a story, but only in the broadest sense. Characters and some story elements may be retained, but mostly plot and story have been repurposed.
This is industry experts saying this not me. You just want to rewrite already known definitions to fit your narrative.
That is being in bad faith.
Whatever you say, by that logic you are basically just agreeing with one industry person and ignoring the intention of other industry people.
