This is distinctly different from an offence such as theft, which is always illegal.

I can go along with all that (with minor quibbles I won't bother with.)
But you seem to have missed my point, (or you disagree with me), that there's some illegal unauthorised copying which is more illegal than others. For me, that class includes obtaining a unauthorised copy of a digital file, rather than anything to do with personal use of an authorised copy.
And it is for these acts that I feel the term "copyright infringement", although technically correct, isn't sufficient as it fails to make this distinction.
