Is there a good reason why dinosaur is only terrestrial extinct reptiles (and a subset at that)?

Do we have a handy term that includes plesiasaur, pteradons and dactyls, as well as dinosaurs?

Disregarding fictionality, it also includes moths, at least one plant, and maybe arachnids (and controversially perhaps, an ape).

And robots. Don't forget the robots.
