While it's true that some of them incarnated as that, the series has, up until now, pretty clearly referenced them as kin of gods. Whether they incarnated into something that wasn't a god or not, they still had kinship with the eventual gods. Which, yes, makes them by definition still god kin. Using Earthlings everywhere would just be confusing when we're talking about demons and such.
