said they'd void Tevez's registration if the agreement was not removed

How is this any basis to say that Tevez would have been validly registered had West Ham not concealed it? They clearly demand that for a valid registration to happen, the agreement should not exist. So he can't have been validly registered at any point.

Not really true. The ruling was not clear at the time of the signings and was only clarified when the fine was given out - if there had been full disclosure at the time (last day of the season), from everything I've been told the most likely scenario is - as happened recently - West Ham would be asked to have the relevant clauses removed once the Premier League reached a decision, but with no retroactive penalty.

Then why couldn't they do that to register Tevez after the decision and instead were compelled to tear up that contract? It seems that this contract isn't acceptable in any form and is a clear barrier to any registration. There is no consistency here.
If you're in doubt, refer it to the premier league. If you act like ****s, hide it because you are afraid you might have broken the rules and then get nailed as a result, tough shit. That's West Ham's fault and no one elses, not even the Premier League's.
The whole decision goes back on itself. It's a complete fudge. Your argument is rubbish because it's in line with the way the decision was made.
