Well, that's EXACTLY what we've been doing to languages all across the world, spanning the millenias of human existence. There are a LOT of people who would be speaking the same languages today, if people didn't create new languages. Case in point, the Brits, and the Germans, and the Dutch. It just doesn't happen as suddenly as you describe. And neither did the shift from "sexually precocious little girls" to "just little girls" for loli.
Yeah, you haven't been on enough sites, it seems. Also, etymology is only useful for showing the origin of a word. Not its current meaning as people define it.

They were. Not anymore. At least not to some people. It's a bit like the word "gay". It was never about homosexuals. It's about being joyful and carefree. Some homosexuals decided to use it to refer to themselves, and now the meaning has shifted.
Just throw all of the definitions out of the window and create your own language!

Every site, that I have been on, that deals with the definition of the word "loli", has an implication that it is sexualized. Even the etymology shows that it is sexual.

Loli and shota are about sexualized kids. Stop putting it on manga that aren’t about that. It’s easy. The term loli literally comes from a novel about this. It’s not a generic “little girl” term.
