This is an attempt to show viewers that the characters never saw a George Romero flick and the basic idea of the "Zombies" that we know never occurred to them before the events in the show happened
Purposely making a show unrealistic in an attempt to make it seem more realistic is just stupid. Would be like having a vampire show where no one has ever heard of vampires so people just called them "biters".
Say hypothetically that making "zombies" unknown as we know them thanks to movies in this show is a "good idea" ,to call them "walkers" is just silly... Say hypothetically there were "zombies" . Not a SINGLE person would call an infected group of people that eat and infect other people "walkers" after any amount of time... "Undead" I would see as acceptable maybe if they really wanted to try and disconnect it from the "zombie" name.
