Yep, I agree. The semantics of what you traditionally think of when you say someone "is a CFI". In that sense, no, I was never "a CFI" teaching in light piston singles for people working on their private certificate.
I have been advised from a couple of sources to check the CFI box, for the specific reason that I have a flight instructor certificate... that it wouldn't make sense "to the computer" to have CFII and MEI without also having a CFI qualification (certificate). Would I get filtered out because of this seeming incongruity?
But my application is not currently published, and I'm still waiting to hear from someone on the inside, somebody "in the know", as to how it really should be, according to how their computer algorithm filters are set.
