Joseph Smith didn't seem to mind the word Mormon or Mormonism. Here are a few quotes:
"One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may."
Joseph Smith Jr.
Discourses of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 199 (9 July 1843)

"Mormonism is truth; and every man who embraces it
feels himself at liberty to embrace every truth"
Joseph Smith Jr.
Letter to Isaac Galland, 22 March 1839

No longer using the name 'Mormon' is like no longer
using the name 'Jew' and calling them a 'Latter-day Israelite'
