They review the website and continued to marking as harmful. Why do you think this is misleading?

I guess technically Google flagged the site while the malicious files were still being hosted; it's not that they flagged the site when it wasn't hosting malicious content.

You buried the lede - the important context is that your site hosted malicious content at one point, regardless of intent. Whether the policy is correct or not, withholding that information in the title isn't doing you any favors.
