The participation of outline levels in numbering means what exactly? I *guess*
you mean things like table captions or formula numbering (created using
respective numbering fields); and the intended use of that feature is exactly
per-chapter numbering - thus the outline level being a synonym of chapter is
clear, again. But indeed, one is not forced to use features only as intended -
any creative (mis)use is OK. But when one would use outline levels for that,
one could limit the outline levels in Navigator to only those levels that are
used for chapters.
Again: using features outside of their intended use (outline level of
paragraphs = (sub)chapter heading) is OK, but not a reason to introduce some
changes that make everyone's life (except yours) much harder. Most (MOST) users
would be confused (to put it politely) if your proposal is implemented.

They are. The "words" in any program are not "words of human language". They
are terms, and they mean specific things in the program, and that meaning
should not (and cannot) match all the breadth of meaning the human language
word bears. The LibreOffice Writer's Outline level is the same as LibreOffice
Writer's Heading level. Period.

So - your problem in this discussion is just that you believe that you know how
we should use words, and if we are allowed or not to use some of them as
synonyms. And you know what, you may discuss that (renaming the three to a
single term), and it might even make sense - but it is not what this issue is
about.
Closing WONTFIX again (in fact, it should be INVALID, because WONTFIX means
"there's a problem, but resolving it is undesirable", while this is "I do not
want to believe that the term means what it really means"). Nothing to discuss
here.
