Then why is it not the "Law of evolution"?

Because a "law" is different than a "theory". A theory is an explanation of a phenomenon, a law is a generalization about regularly occuring events.

Yeah, got that.

The rhetorical part of my question, fairly, has more to do with the defenders of the "theory" than of the definitions themselves.

The intense reactions of some to the challenges of ID communicate deeply held belief (faith) and in some cases a lack of knowledge or confidence. This is an observation of some, not a claim against theory.

Faith systems don't need a deity.
