Fish absolutely exist cladistically, OP just didn't want to admit they're a land dwelling fish. You believe the implications of cladistics or you don't, cowards.
I'd also argue it's relatively easy to separate fish-fish from land fish from land fish that became sea fish again to bully the fish fish.
Is fish just another name for vertebrates ?

So yes, fishes is the same thing as vertebrates.
Probably because if you were a vertebrate living in the sea, you needed some sort of gills and fins and such. And those are what makes people assume something is a "fish".
