From the xterm man page:

-e program [ arguments ... ]
This option specifies the program (and its command line argu-
ments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window
title and icon name to be the basename of the program being
executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line.
This must be the last option on the command line.

yes, that's the point -e xtermset -n Wind -T Wind is the last command
for xterm
and -n Wind -T Wind are not given xterm options. But why the
window/icon title is not set
properly?

I don't think you understand
-n and -T are xterm options.
As far as I know, you don't want to pass those options
to a program called xtermset.

There is no program on my system called xtermset.
What is it and what do you expect it to do?
I don't think you want to use the -e option.

Try removing -e xtermset.

xterm -geometry 75x25+400+400 -vb -bg navy -fg grey -ls -n Wind -T Wind
-e /bin/sh
