You might not lose any 'power' by adding the third. However, that is not the most important aspect, I think. Anyway, I see what you mean - but I have to say that you at least have a very 'individualistic' approach. I just don't see why you also want to call a chord which consists of a root, third and fifth a power chord, when it really is a regular triad? Using the same (your) logic, one might claim: "As a chord consisting of a root, third and fifth is a Power Chord; also the Dominant 7th chord is a power chord, as it does not lose any 'power' by adding the minor 7th". I mean, if this is the way of thinking, where is the line drawn? What isn't a power chord, then?
