Who did that port?? Linus and his team?

Most certainly.  I can't quite picture the GNU project putting
resources into the early development of GNU+Linux to make the
combination usable.  Linux was not perceived as a relevant kernel for
the GNU operating system back then.

More significantly, Linus didn't seem interested in their cult politics at the time. But the point regarding naming is that people have always had the choice to use the non-Linux version of GNU. They still do. But no one wants that. So why change the name of something people do want to include something they never have wanted? It's clearly just a ploy to drag out the cult politics the name conveys.
