The standard mechanism for "I want to copy all the document except..." is to
use an identity template

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/><xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and then override it for elements you want to change:

<xsl:template match="Pooh">
<xsl:element name="Piglet">
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/><xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
