Why would Alexander the Great call his three kingdomes Hellenistic?
He didn't - as far as he was concerned there was only his one kingdom. After his death, his generals fought over the spoils and created their own kingdoms. We call these kingdoms today Hellenistic because the local cultures of these kingdoms were merged with Hellenic (Greek) culture and civilization creating a fusion of the two - which is why we use Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek).
Why were the three kingdoms Hellenistic?
Hellenism/Hellenic was their word for Greek. The kingdoms which arose from Alexander's empire after his death were called Hellenistic as they were based on Greek civilisation. However this was superficial as most of the peoples in the ex-Persian territories retained their old ways - only the upper classes adopted Greek culture. So the word Hellenistic is used instead of Hellenic to indicate the partial culture 'like Hellenic'.
Why were three kingdoms created from Alexander the Greats empire?
Hellenistic comes from Hellas a.k.a Greece. Historians around the world believe that when Alexander with the other greek cities went against the Persians and the other countries in the east, he brought their advanced greek civilization, culture and language. This is also the reason that the new testimony was written in greek. This is why those kingdoms were called Hellenistic as well as the whole era.
What three main cultures made up the Hellenistic culture?
Hellenistic culture was a mixture of Greek, Egyptian, Semitic, and Persian cultures. The Hellenistic mystery religions were syncretic manifestations of this cultural mixture.

Which civilization conquered all the Hellenistic kingdoms?
Alexander died unexpectedly without an obvious heir. With no clear direction, his generals fought for power. Eventually, three distinct Hellenistic kingdoms emerged: Macedonia (which included Greece), Syria, and Egypt. Although Hellenistic culture flourished in all three kingdoms-in particular, Alexandria in Egypt became a great center of culture and learning-all three kingdoms fell to the growing power of Rome between 60 and 30 BC.
