Isn't it more correct to just call Mary what the Bible calls her - The Mother of Jesus. She is never given such an exalted title in Scripture or any of her other exalted titles other than blessed. She is called the Mother of Jesus.

That's exactly what Nestorius wanted to call her. That title, however, denies Christ's divinity. As I explained above (#1656), denying that Mary is the mother of God logically entails one of three heresies.
