Yes, that's the simple definition of a bike but then a dog is just a mammal with 4 legs, a head and a tail. That description also happens to fit almost all mammals on the planet. You could go even further and say that a dog is just a canine but that fits a pretty broad class of animals too.
This bike fits your limited definition nicely
but it can't do what this bike can
Nor can those do what these bikes can
I suppose that you could do all the same things on the Dean that you can do on the Cannondale or the Moots or the Specialized but the question you have to ask is would you want to? It wouldn't be pretty and it could even be hazardous.
And this bike defies categorization
