There's no convention in this country that says stations must be named
after the roads there on. Aldgate East is in the vicinity of Aldgate,
so I don't really buy that argument.

No, it's in the vicinity of Whitechapel, as evidenced by the fact that
it's on Whitechapel High Street.

Don't people now refer to the area around Whitechapel tube as Whitechapel,
though?

Yup, IME.
