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).
