You're not going to win against Apple. Change your app's name.

There is still an appeals process, change it after you exhaust that.

Strategically I would say don't bother, personally. Just change the name.

It all depends on how much value the name has as a brand. If there are a ton of positive reviews and mentions of the app using that name, it’s not going to hurt to appeal.

But if almost all of the materials referring to the app by that name are on your own web site, I agree with you, change it and move on. Use those efforts in better places.
