Again, the point is that for the most part the names don't really matter. We can call them "bloopity jobs" and "glorbo jobs" and get exactly the same predictions - I'm sorry that people have given these categories names you don't like, but the categories remain descriptive and useful nonetheless.
No, the point of "unskilled labor" as a phrase at all, is to enforce the dichotomy that not everyone deserves food and shelter. It reinforces the notion that a person deserves less than livable circumstances because they are not as "skilled" as you. This implies you don't deserve to live if you don't help the bottom line go up. It's ableist at best and completely dishonest the way you twist it.
