Changing the name changes nothing. The distinction will remain useful and people will invent a new word. If what we currently call technical skills is unfairly overvalued - the evaluation needs to change, not the name. Similarly you don't fix racism by replacing one word with another. That's just magic thinking. BTW I think technical skills in IT are overvalued, mostly because of outdated perception of rarity. And over time the hordes of people pivoting to IT and the improving generative AI will change that.
