Before I try to refute your arguments, I first need to be sure what sense of "libertarian" you're using. Are you referring to it in general, or specifically to the platform of the Libertarian Party? One issue is that, generally speaking, some libertarians are anarchists, while others are minarchists. The LP platform, however, is solely minarchist.

The Libertarian Party, like any party, will bend away from its principles from time to time. Politics misbehaves that way.
I prefer the sense of lower case libertarians. It encompases the principles of the thing, not spur of the moment pandering.
And for the discussion, minarchist libertarianism is probably best: anarchism would probably drive the discussion into a tangent.
