The quote youhave provided is about Seerah gethering, not what happens in pesent day Milads. Milad gatherings in our time are total opposite to it. He clearly prohibited Milad as I will show in the quotes below.
I don't know what happens at your present day Milads, but what Imam Sirhindi described and specifically allowed, and *called* a Milad is all that occurs at Hakkani Milads. I read it more than simple public reading of Seerah history.

again:
"Gatherings of Meelaad as-Shareef with the recitation of Holy Quraan with good (melodious) voice and Naats and Qasidaas are recited for Huzoor Sallallaho alayhi wa sallam then what is the hesitation ? " [Ahmed Sirhindi, Maktobaat, Volume 1, First Chapter, Maktoob number 42, page 154]

What Shaykh Sirhindi is specifically mentioning is "Meelad" and its allowed. Your quotes afterwards then try to say that Milad is not allowed.. yet you take it further to say "As you can see the Shaykh prohibited Milad all together."

How you reconcile this is still a mystery, its clear Imam Sirhindi (R) was speaking to specific practices at a Milad, not the use of the name in itself (which as far as I know is technically an 'innovation' according to the Wahabi understanding of it).

And it really wasn't an 'attack'. What I mentioned about Wahabi's was bit more complex than that.
