You can opt your email out of the HIBP database and then it won't return Pwned on a search, but it remains in the database because it's a fundamental part of how the database works. Also email addresses change hands, eg:
[email protected] which is why they're flagged and not removed from HIBP dump data.
Furthermore the dump data has already been made public on pastebins and other such services by hackers, deleting an email from the HIBP database doesn't magically make the email address disappear from the dumps out there on the web.
As far as 'stupid cunts' go, you are obviously intelligent Bladewire and I often agree with you, but you're a bit like that firecracker that you light that just fizzes out. So much potential lost, a fizzer.
