Remembrance is what Jesus said. You use the term “Holy Eucharist”, when the giving of thanks was not the purpose of meal but a only a part of it and not the major part. Why not “Holy Anamnesin” if we are doing the “this” Christ spoke of?

No, not mutually exclusive but then I didn't say they were. Its a matter of emphasis in Christ's words not a non sequitur.

It can be called Mass, the Lord’s Supper, Holy Communion, and the Divine Liturgy. Eucharist is ancient term which describes the central act of Christian worship since the beginning of the Church.
