Can't fault your logic mate, I too cannot bring myself to use absolute terms regarding my belief. 
I don't think "atheist" is an absolute term, it's a spectrum of essentially similar beliefs.
But my personal view is that "agnostic atheist" should be confined to intellectual discussions that go there. Only atheists and a minority of god slaves have any idea about the subtly. Just like calling a religious person a "theist", I'd wager most wouldn't know what you were on about.
Atheism is still struggling for recognition and equality in many countries and agnosticism waters down the stats.
