"Interstate" has nothing to do with whether or not a highway crosses state lines. Hawaii has interstates for example.
The difference here is that in the highway system, 'interstate' highways are highways that are federally funded with money shared between all of the 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Interstate refers to anything that relates to multiple states. You are thinking of the term "Intrastate" that would refer to within a single state. These roads are typically called "State routes."
A more interesting question is "why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?" There are... now that's a good question.

That's what interstates do...they go from one state to another. The ones running east and west have even numbers ie: I-94 or I-80; those running north and south are uneven numbered ie: I-65 or I-75.

Because that's what they do. "Inter" means 'between'. A road entirely within a state would be "intrastate".
