True enough. Bad choice of name, for sure. Passover was probably linked to the vernal equinox for the usual reasons (the escape from Egypt looks pretty bogus), but that was when and why Jesus traveled to Jerusalem. And despite Christianity's attempt to obscure it, the passover was when Jesus was crucified (some historical problems there, too). So, call it the "Crucifixion" instead of "Easter" and I can't see any objection.
