Ah, but these spells are too spectacular to be Avada Kedavra. 
Destruction consumes its target in holy or unholy fire, while 
Implosion makes them, well, implode. Also Implosion can kill more 
than one target. Similar arguments apply to Wail of the Banshee 
(kills all within 30 ft) and Disintegrate.
