When people say Europe, they probably don’t mean Azerbaijan. Geographic accuracy is rarely used in conversations. In other words, American continent and America generally refer to different things, just like European continent or Europe.
Is it accurate? No. Will you succesfully change how language is used for millions/billions of people? Also no.
