Saying that the master branch is the main one, or the original one is actually a lot more explicit to describe the purpose of that branch.

Since you don't care about the harm and the message it can do, I guess properly naming the concept we are using might be better... It's easier to understand, and easier to teach.

Properly naming is exactly why I will be using master.

You sound like a person who won't wear a mask during a pandemic... You are most likely lazy and don't care about anyone else. ;) Call it master if you want but don't act like you are standing up to technical oppression!! What's the big deal about calling it something else for new repos? I can see not renaming your whole code base...
