Atheism and Agnosticism aren't the same thing though. Atheism deals with belief only, and agnosticism deals with knowledge only. You can be an agnostic and believe in god (coxrox was an example), so I fail to see how your argument stands up.
You and I would certainly agree that we cannot "know", but that's just on a personal level. How do other people know, especially when you have people who claim gnostic or "strong" atheism? I want to distinguish myself from the people who I think hold very irrational beliefs in this way. You don't need the "agnostic" label there, but I find it useful.
