The Caspian sea ,the dead sea and the Aral sea are presently lakes.Long before these were not landlocked .they were all like the arabian sea .When the landmassses started moving closer to each other these became landlocked lakes. since these lakes still contain salt as before they are called seas.
Comments

Because of their high salt content. It has nothing to with the dimension of these water bodies.
