There's nothing wrong with calling Mary “the Mother of Jesus the Messiah”.
She has lots of titles, but the Church preeminently calls her the “Mother of God” because that title expresses the profound truth about her that destroys all the heresies that arise about her Son, heresies that seek to destroy the Unity of the Church founded by Jesus Christ.
The “spirit” behind heresy is primarily the desire to destroy the things of God.

Yep, it’s for accuracy. As we see, if you have trouble with the accuracy of who Mary was, you can often have troubles being accurate about who Jesus is.
It’s all about the Incarnation.

Actually, I believe it would be called the spirit of anti-Christ.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. - I John 4:3
