Isn't there any table listed all equivalent names? Why do one need to go individual toolbox in order to figure out? Better yet, why have 2 names meaning same thing?

Isn't there any table listed all equivalent names?

No. Besides, if by "equivalent" you mean "these two functions / toolboxes do exactly the same thing", there aren't very many "equivalent" names.

Better yet, why have 2 names meaning same thing?

Let's look at some of the specific items about which you asked.

"Computer Vision System Toolbox same as?? Video and Image Blockset ??"

Video and Image Processing Blockset was renamed to Computer Vision System Toolbox in release R2011a. The Release Notes give a little bit of background about why.

"HDL Coder same as ?? Simulink HDL Coder ??"

Renamed in release R2012a.

"Image Processing toolbox same as ?? Image toolbox??"

I don't think "Image Toolbox" has ever been the official name for that product. I suppose if you wanted to save some keystrokes you could call it that and most people would still understand what you meant. [Though there would be the potential for confusion between Image Processing Toolbox and Image Acquisition Toolbox.]

"Model Predictive Control Toolbox same as ?? MPC toolbox ??"

I stepped through the older documentation on the website and I see that product consistently named Model Predictive Control Toolbox going back to release R13SP2, which was released around 17-18 years ago. MPC seems like a reasonable abbreviation to use for that product, but I don't think that was ever the official name of the product.

R2020A still refers to the Computer Vision System Toolbox as "video_and_image_blockset" if you do a license('inuse') command at the command window.

The names used by the license manager need not be the same as the "human visible" names of the products, yes. I believe that's so you can have your license server provide licenses for multiple releases at once, if I remember my license management training from nearly 20 years ago.
