What something "means" in another language has (at least) two very different "meanings" 
The first is literal, in which case you are right. Dígame literally means Tell Me.
The second is "what do people from each country say in similar situations" In this case, many Spanish speakers say "Dígame" when they answer the phone, just as most English speakers say "hello." With this interpretation, Dígame means hello.
Here is a simple example of the concept I'm talking about.
Tengo calor means I have heat. (literal)
Tengo calor means I am hot. (what people normally say)
There are many, many other examples of this phenomena. I suggest you broaden your viewpoint and try not to label things as "wrong" so quickly. Try to understand things from a broader perspective.
This whole discussion reminds me of something. During one stage when I was in college, I used to answer the phone: "Dodger stadium, third base." This led to many interesting replies and I don't think anyone ever hung up on me. They instinctively knew it was my way of saying "hello" even if they were a total stranger.
