You are partly right. For a checksum CRC would be best. Fast and simple, as its meant as checksum, not as a hash.
You misunderstand something. Every checksum is also a hash (a mapping to another domain), and cryptographic hash functions always produce checksums.
So possibly we should get our point of view into the direction that those hashes are not checksums, but rather integrity checks.
This is wrong. Checksum checks *are* integrity checks. That's what they are. I think you should read up on some terminology because either you misunderstand something very basic, or you confuse others by using words differently from everyone else.
