...That the new millenium actually started in 2001 and even with all the education of all the people in the film everybody continued calling Y2K the millenium
shareNo... but you're the only one who cares. :) Let it go, we all called it that, even though we all knew better, and that's when everybody celebrated it. You watch a movie with CZJ in a body-suit... and those lasers!... and this is what you're thinking? :D
share2000 is much more aesthetic pleasing. Plus it just depends on your point of view.

The whole Y2K "Millennium bug" thing happened in 2000, though, which makes the year 2000 the appropriate choice for the movie

Yes, but the whole point of the heist is to take advantage of the security checks being run on the banks system because of the varied Y2K problems. While the world was wrong in calling the stroke of midnight between 1999 and 2000 as the Millenium, that is the exact moment in time that the whole Y2K issue was coming to a head.

The Y2K thing was very important I was one of the project leads starting in 1998.
One of the other worries is if it was going to turn into Feb. 29 and not March 1.
Among the things we did was to run the systems with the date(s) 12/31/99, 2/28/01
and other 1999/2000 dates.
Yet it looked like in some cases it was much ado over nothing.

First of all, it's millennium, not 'the Millenium'. Nothing is capitalized, and there is no 'the', in addition to there being TWO letter 'N's in the word. Well done, you managed to compress this many errors in such a short writing!
Secondly, everything starts from zero in the decimal system. The number 2000 clearly contains two thousands, which translates to 'two millennia'. The technical details of whether there was a year zero or isn't, are irrelevant, as the whole numbering system for years was not even invented at year one or year zero. Of course there was a year zero, if we so decide, because we can retroactively add it to the previous year, just like we (or that monk) retroactively created the arbitrary numbers for the years.
You can debate about this all you want, but for all intents and purposes, visually and realistically, and pragmatically speaking, the new millennium started at the year two thousand exactly, as that's where new things start from - the zero.
