Why did god call Daniel a prophet?
Daniel is considered a prophet by Christians, but not by Jews. The difference is no doubt based on the Christian use of passages in the book, that can be used as apparently foreshadowing the life of Jesus. On this view, Daniel became a prophet for Christians when they began to relate passages in the Book of Daniel to the New Testament.

Why are Elijah and Elisha not in the list of the major and minor prophets?
The classification of major or minor prophet refers to the biblical books written by various prophets. Elisha has no books attributed to him. Thus, he does not qualify for either. This does not reflect the importance of his actual role as a prophet.
Who is the last mentioned prophet in the Bible?
The last prophet is the person recognised by a given religion as the final revelation of God (or the gods). There is usually something qualitatively different about this final prophet, beyond the fact that he was chronologically last.
For example, the most recent prophet acknowledged by the Jews was Malachi; there has not been another prophet since. But he is not really a Last Prophet in this final sense, because the Jews believe there is still a future prophet, the Messiah, to come.
In Christianity the final prophet is Jesus. There cannot be another after him or greater than him because he is the sin-bearer who brings ultimate reconciliation with God. In Christianity, no greater work than this is possible. All previous prophets look forward to the death of Jesus, and all theology since has looked backwards to it.
In Islam the final prophet is Mohammed. He brought the Qur'an, which Muslims believe to be a perfect and uncorrupted book. There is no need for additional prophets since they would only be repeating what the Qur'an already says.
In Sikhism the final "prophet" is Guru Gobind Singh. He edited the definitive version of the Sikh holy book, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, which takes the place of the prophets. Again, subsequent gurus would only be repeating what the Granth Sahib says, so they are not really needed.
Why Mother Teresa a prophet today?
Yes she was. In fact, she founded an order of nuns called the Missionaries of Charity.
The main function of the order is mission work around the world. As an adjunct to this religious activity, the order provides some small-scale services for the poor. This includes several hundred beds in Calcutta and elsewhere for the destitute dying, as well as several small schools in India. The order provides free food for the homeless in Calcutta, but this is a quite small operation compared to other, less well publicised charities working in the same area. However, most of the order's missions do not provide for the poor, but were set up to support the preaching of the faith.
