you took the sticker off the sheet and attached it to the part makes it, by definition,
USED! It doesn't matter if you never used this part to build the set, it
is still used! Is there any way we can disable the 'new' button when
listing these types of parts?

Since we are talking about stickers, I see incomplete sticker sheets listed as
"new" as well on occasion.
Since there isn't an "incomplete" option, they should be considered "used"
IMHO.

How would I list an element like this if you disabled new?  Totally agree on
the applied aspect but a generic limitation may not be the way.

Agreed. A box cannot be new if it has been opened! Now, if you have a sealed
box and you have magically transported the contents out of the box without opening
it, then I would make an exception and it can be listed as 'new'. 
|
Or you if you get them directly from LEGO (or their supplier) before they are
filled.
Unless in that case you call them “pre-new” or “not-even-new-yet”

If someone actually got unused boxes from lego that is the only case where they
are actually new since they were not used for their intended purpose.
