This seems to me a rather pedantic objection to a moral structure for a theoretical language... it's worth noting that both "anti" and "bio" existed as parts of language before antibiotics. The word antibiotic has a general meaning because it is made from known parts, and was used as the best fit for something which was discovered.
Also worth noting is that scientific research is heavily controlled in the world of 1984 for the reason that it brings novelty, advancement, and change of thought patterns.
It's not pedantic if it goes to the very heart of the concept.

It was heavily controlled in the USSR, too, but that didn't prevent the Gulag Archipelago novels from being written, for example.
