I presume people who cringe at the term magician have had an experience with a bad one. I really don't trust plumbers because I had one make a complete mess of fitting my bathroom but I' sure there are good ones out there. At this time in my life I've really gone off the whole table hopping/stroll around magic for the very reason I hated having to be the uninvited guest and keep referring to myself as The Magician. I much prefer doing stage shows so the audience have come to watch you without the explanation of exactly who I am and why I've interrupted your conversation.
I don't think we should lose that sense of pride in being magicians though as it really is interesting to people and I'm proud to be one. I think as with all things, if you are good at what you do people will appreciate it.
