There was an initial attempt by Alexander to introduce Greek culture to his empire, but after his early death and his generals dividing his empire amongst themselves to form the kingdoms, the view became more limited. The Macedonian and Greek upper class followed Greek customs, and the locals continued their own cultures. The Macedonian rules ruled as monarchs, and the people at large had no political participation, the antithesis of the city-state.

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'.
