edit: Also, this is something that's been an issue since the TV series, but it's weird for a series with such pretentions to psychological and symbolic depth to use so much technobabble.

I imagine it was originally there just to look/sound cool, but also to drive home the idea that the protagonist has just been dropped into a world of which he has virtually no understanding. Later, Anno probably realized that the target audience of his message of "hey go outside and throw a baseball or something" would be the ones to agonizingly spend their time trying to come up with a Unified Theory of Evangelion for every made-up word on the show.
