I'm absolutely certain you are nitpicking.
Bah, humbug. People are happy with "antipodes", so I really see no problem with "octopodes" (which is exactly the same stem). It should, I'd note in passing, be pronounced in the same way as "antipodes", with the stress on the second syllable - "oc-TOP-pode-eez"
