Why is it called "Ebola virus disease", not just "Ebola" or "Ebola disease"?
This is now how new viral diseases are being named, possibly because one can have/carry a virus without having a disease (e.g. HIV, herpes simplex, etc.). It is not as uncommon as you think.

A bit of googling will turn up reputable sites which discuss the epidemiology of Hantavirus disease, Hendra Virus Disease, Powassan Virus Disease, Lake Victoria Marburgvirus disease, Lujo virus disease, Ross River virus disease, Nipah virus disease, respiratory syncytial virus disease, Kunjin virus disease, Chikungunya Virus Disease, Heartland virus disease, St. Louis encephalitis virus disease, West Nile virus disease, Eastern equine encephalitis virus disease, Western equine encephalitis virus disease, and California serogroup virus disease (includes infections with the following viruses: La Crosse, Jamestown Canyon, snowshoe hare, trivittatus, Keystone, and California encephalitis viruses) and others, but I'm stopping here.

Bacteria cause diseases, but many already had/have names: Typhus (Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia prowazekii), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (Rickettsia rickettsii), Diptheria (Corynebacterium diphtheriae), Lyme disease (at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia), Pertussis/Whooping Cough (Bordetella pertussis), Tetanus (Clostridium tetani), etc. 

Interestingly, I have started to see scholarly articles for Clostridium Difficile Disease, which was an entirely new name for what we used to call Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea. So maybe there will be a shift in that direction as well; time will tell.

How diseases are named is another whole thing.
