you can call everything an element of something, but talking about elemental magic, we are dealing with the climate elements of the world, when saying earth wind fire water thunder are elements you are right, but when you then choose to include time, you pull the elements out of context and therefor it makes no sense calling it elements at all because its not involved in any context of any kind any more, its like putting cars and carrots in the same category, calling them devices, they are devices indeed, but for each their own cause in each their own context
