I guess part of the trouble is I don't think most North Americans (or at least not Canadians and Americans, no idea about Mexico) feel any real sense of kinship towards even the other North American countries, let alone the South and Central American countries.

Canada and the US are both pretty fiercely independent, and aren't all that keen on being bundled together (though I think it's sort of like, the US goes 'Canada who?' or 'Canada LOL' and Canada's like 'WE'RE NOT AMERICANS. NOT. AMERICANS'), which seems very different from the mindset you're presenting where while you're countries may be separate and different, you're still all one continent.

My experience is that Canadians mostly just feel kinship with Canadians. So when you try to refer to everyone in both Americas as 'American', it's not only referring to Canadians by a name they generally separate themselves from, but it implies a kinship among all the Americas that they don't really feel. It's kind of awkward, like if an acquaintance suddenly came up to you with a bunch of friends and started calling you one of their best beds.
