Just apply for a new passport, they ask for the old one but they will give it back once the application is done.

The OP is being more precise in his terminology.

Passports are a form/subset of travel documents. All (external) passport are travel documents, but not all travel documents are passports.

Generally, passports are travel documents that are issued only to the nationals of the issuing country, though some countries (in the Baltics) issue non-citizen passports to long-term residents dating from their residence in the then-Soviet Union.

To the OP: you should apply for a new travel document of the same type as the one that you already have. There is no separate or distinctive ILR travel document.

That's why I used passport with the quotes.
