Hindus view Buddha as an avatar of Vishnu, so I don’t see the problem here.
I’ve had more than one Hindu inform me that Buddhism is really just another school of Hinduism. Bless 'em!

No. That’s not right. Buddhism is a part of Catholicism! 
You find “God in all things” according to my Jesuit friends. So the Buddha is clearly one of ours. 
(Just to make it absolutely clear - I’m not being serious. The Buddha clearly belongs to everyone. But I might just take a little Buddha statue to church this Easter and he can sit on the pew in front of me )

I think more of the problem was the Hindus in question treating nāstika prophets as the same and interchangeable (the Buddha & the Jina here)
