What sort of statement was Mike trying to make by calling it "tubular bells III"? It seems to me like a collection of songs with absolutely nothing to do with Tubular Bells, and that the title is quite arbitrary.

I agree, more or less; it could, for example, just as well have been called Crises II, since Outcast is very similar to Shadow On The Wall, and Man In The Rain is very, very similar to Moonlight Shadow, plus Crises also had the Bells theme at the beginning. Or, better still, it could have been called something completely different.
You might want to check this thread and also this one for previous discussion on the subject. (Scroll down a bit on the latter.)
