I think that theme and avatar submissions were things that had been dragging along in the mud behind our moving coach for a long time now. They're things that worked for a smaller fanbase and a web team that had more time. And a community that cared less about status. Occasionally the team looks back and sees them, trying to do something about them, but eventually they are once again overshadowed by more important things.
I also think that the team has been trying to avoid custom titles for users ever since the automated member titles came into play - possibly even before that. They're not removing titles that have already been distributed, but with the one "joke" exception already mentioned in this thread, they're just not adding new ones. Though I haven't been around much, so I could be wrong.
Not saying you don't deserve it, but you aren't likely to get it, because I'd guess it's more than just you who needs the title (according to previous criteria). They'd likely have to reopen that whole can of worms to accomplish this.
Plus, I understand the frustration, but I don't think the team responds well to a sense of entitlement, even if it's somewhat deserved.
