Redundant to what? That's absurd. If that is your opinion, there is nothing I can do for you. Fundamentally, it isn't possible to understand the differences between bonobo and chimp behaviour without this distinction.
Also, on the definition of "altruism", if you now claim that the Wiki version is good, why did you blame it for my use of the word? (In fact, I used a different dictionary, IIRC, but didn't remember in time to say so before, as I do not make a habit iof memorising the names of dictionaries that I get my vocabulary from.)
