Vampires are just myths and legends, and they've been around for hundreds of years. What the original vampires actually were and who started them is not known. The idea of them being corpses may be different than the original, having evolved over centuries. There is no real proof that vampires are actually living corpses, so you don't have the right to say what a vampire is and isn't. It isn't your idea, nor is it Meyer's, but the Twilight vampires are her ideas, meaning you can't exactly say that her version is wrong, only different than the traditional.

P.S. I'm not arguing with your thoughts about the story, though. Just the thing about Meyer's version of vampires. When I watched the movies, all I wanted to do was smack the TV with the remote, hunt Meyer's down and then try to shake some sense into her. The characters were so unbelievably stupid and unrealistic, I can't tell you how many facepalm moments I had when watching them. And just my luck that my sister is a Twilight fan. *sighs*
