Animal milk is ok but coconut milk is an exception I guess. I don’t really know why.

  Because with its long history as a food, coconut milk is widely know to be called "milk" for its colour. It was not traditionally used as a replacement for milk, it stood on its own as a food source. These new products are designed to replace actual milk for use in consumption. So there does entail danger of confusion, hence, the restriction on calling them milk.
