You're wrong there. All grub2-mkconfig does is update the config
file, it's nothing

Given your current naming scheme, grub2-mkconfig will not detect your
kernels. They must be named vmlinuz-version or kernel-version. For
example:
/boot/vmlinuz-3.4.3
/boot/kernel-2.6.39-gentoo

AFAIK, you should be fine renaming bzImage to vmlinuz. (Note the z.

make install also copies your config to /boot, with a matching name.

No it doesn't, it only installs kernels, not uninstalls them.
