While I agree that the naming conventions have some issues, they have an understood interpretation. Trained musicians will know exactly what you mean if you say Cmin7 or Cadd9.
C2 is a different use and is typically interpreted to be either Cadd9 or Csus2 - two different chords. Since we already have names for Cadd9 and Csus2, why muddy the waters with C2?
