TIKI as an art form should be accepted in whatever shape form the artist envisions it. If you don't like it that’s totally fine, however it does not make it any less artistic. Art is subjective there is no simple way to say that’s right & that’s wrong.

Are you suggesting that anything goes? Are you saying that no matter what an artists produces, if the artist calls it "Tiki" then it is? Is there no style at all?

Are you suggesting that because an abstract artist makes a portrait that is recognisably human it's not a portrait?

Of course not. We are talking about a style. A carving is a carving. A portrait is a portrait.
Put it this way; If an artist produced an abstract and said it was realism, does that mean it IS realism? You may disagree but I say NO.
