Not sure why people feel the need to segregate themselves under these labels. I was under the impression that most people appreciate that both sexual and romantic love are a spectrum
I assume you describe yourself as gay? That's a label.. There was probably a time when you didn't identify as gay, because you were young or didn't know or just weren't out, but I assume going from using the label 'straight' to 'gay' didn't cause you to suddenly question everything about your identity.
I for one have never seen anyone have an identity crisis over a label, and nobody is forcing anyone to use them. Sure, labels change over time, because people change over time.
If anything is going to lead to an identity crisis it's the sudden realisation that your preferences or feelings have changed, not what you describe them as!
Nope.
Using this many labels to categorise yourself is ridiculous, and it would be disrupting to a persons identity to have to change the way they categorise themselves.

Quite. Coming up with these labels makes about as much sense as (in hindsight) identifying different 'races' did. And look where that got us.
Having the labels hetero, homo, bi, a and pansexual is as arbitrary as having a load more including demi and grey. Just stop using them at all, ffs.
I agree with RobMl here. We communicate. Why not say I'm a homocurious furray if that's shorter and more efficient than saying, I prefer guts but don't mind girls and I find animal clothes to be really kinky.

It's not about efficiency. It's about putting your identity into a box before you understand it.
