How about changing the name of the complex-number function to, ideally, complex ? complex-number seems irritating to (have to) read. Further, calling this function is a form of type coercion. (float ...), (int ...), etc., are idiomatic Clojure, whereas (float-number ...), (int-number ...), etc., were not included in the language.
