Wrong. The very definitin of "mutt" as defined by Webster's dictionary:

Main Entry: mutt
2 : a mongrel dog : cur

Mongrel
1: an individual resulting from the interbreeding of diverse breeds or strains ; especially : one of unknown ancestry
2: a cross between types of persons or things

"Mutt" in an accurate term for any non-purebred dog by definition. Taking offense to it and trying to turn it into something derogatory is a personl choice. If you choose to do so, that is your right, but it's unrealistic to think that everyone will conform to that way of thinking.

You are very right about that. But isbreeding "Morkies" is being done as an effort to create new breeds with a purpose, as was done with the Yorkies? No, so that's really a moot point.
