What are we are referred to as? Needs to be put to rest.

I enjoy being pedantic as much as the next guy.

No wait, the next person, because it might not be a guy.

No wait, what if the next person doesn’t like n]being pedantic and I do?

What if the next person refers to my avocado salad as being a vegetable salad and I insist it is a fruit salad? And they object to my insistence that his bananas are berries?

Regarding your attempt to use the term, “Estadounidense”, no doubt someone will point out that Mexico is actually the Estados Unidos Mexicanos, so you are no further ahead.

If you want to make an accurate comparison, Estados Unidos Mexicanos is not the same as saying Estados Unidos de México. Mexico isn't the nation lacking a demonym like the USA. Mexico is a country. America is a supercontinent, not a country, and throughout America's history since long before there was a United States of America the rest of America has referred to their collective selves as Americans. All U.S. citizens have to do is consult their passports to see that under Nationality it does NOT say "American". They don't have a proper demonym. They keep using the continent, which before there was a USA, was the common way for Europeans to refer to everyone on this land mass, which is where the confusion originated.
