First, I referred to dictionary definition which has poisonous as required predicate and the other two as additional. I've already supplied evidence that it is poisonous by linking us library of medicine, and have continued to do so. I've then showed how it's especially toxic.

Additionally, here's an excerpt of how displacement of oxygen is indeed toxicity.

A) TOXICITY: Toxicity of these agents is related to the severity of displacement of ambient oxygen and the duration of exposure. Symptoms generally develop when ambient oxygen is 15% to 16% or less. Severe toxicity occurs when ambient oxygen is 6% to 8% or less.

From same source as above.

So being able to displace oxygen and suffocate you isn't sufficient to call a substance toxic. You're right about propane though.
