Not only did Albert Einstein plagiarize Poincaré, it is also well
known that Mileva Maric (Einstein's first wife) collaborated with
Albert on their joint theory of relative motion.

The above, like your understanding of relativity, is wrong.

How do you explain the published Einstein's letters to Mileva where he
uses language like "our theory of relative motion"?

Simple - Einstein may have thought of it as a collaboration at that time.
But that doesn't make it one.

It is also well known that Mileva's Ph.D. research

I find that hard to believe, since she had to coaxed to even complete her
degree - and never did complete it - hardly PhD material

'1901 Mileva Maric leaves ETH without a certificate; she does not continue
her Ph.D.'

Don't you think that the emotional stress on Mileva being pregnant by
Albert and not yet married to him was a relevant factor?

Relevant to what? The fact that she didn't undertake Ph.D. research as you
claimed? It is not why she may or may not have undertaken Ph.D. research
that is in dispute - it is your claim she did.
