The discrepancy is moreso to do with the English localization than a Japanese decision to make it more alluring or whatever. It's also "hyuran" in the French and German versions.

I liked where the conversation went though lol
I mean I started out one way and with some talks evolved it into oh hmm what the?
If Hyurs is a race and you call them Hyurian there is a natural expectation and wonderment is there Hyur the land mass Hyurland.
(Race != species, race is a subdivision of the species (or sub subdivision, if you consider homo sapien and homo erectus lol))
If Hyur is a specie (or just not called a race) then Hyuran is set like human and then each clan is actually a race and in the world of consistency its fairly normal (human/Hyuran- no locational information is really associated with human).
In the way it is now (every type is called a race ) then we can likely interbreed unless we are based off a different parent specie (but saying Hyuran would lend to things like asian, or russian, german, ect ect - and an expectation and a small inconsistency which I think choosing Hyur was a better choice).
If its the second way then SE could change "choose your race" to "choose your specie (or non race insinuating word)" and change clan to race (since you'd only have the same race in the same clan if you only bred with yourselves, changing clan to race would sound better lol)- then name it Hyuran no problem.

I guess we can agree to disagree, either way I just call them straight up humans when in general conversation.
