It does not appear at all in the Talmud.
Why are you making that ridiculous assertion? C'mon, get
real. That's like saying the word "son" never appears in Latin
Church records. Of course it doesn't. "Son" is English and Latin
Church records are in Latin.
The Talmud was written in Aramaic, and "Exilarch" is not an Aramaic
word. The Aramaic term for "Exilarch" is "Reish Galusa". Do you
dispute this? Do you dispute that "reish galusa" appears hundreds of
times in the Talmud?

Well said - but it is useless arguing with someone who just denies the
facts.
According to Benjamin of Tudela, when the Exilarch went to visit the
Caliph the heralds announced his coming with the words "Make way for
our Lord, the Son of David." ("Amilu tarik la Saidna ben Daud.").
The exilarchs were recognized by the Caliphate as leaders of the Jews
and descendants of the House of David.
