Sorry, it can't be done, C4D Lite is part of the installer package for AE, just like Mocha AE, the Cycore (CC) plug-ins, and the previously available Color Finesse plug-in. All plug-ins are/were a result of partnerships to extend After Effects' toolset—this is just how AE operates. You can post on the AE UserVoice here (I wouldn't be surprised if one already exists that you can vote on), but it doesn't seem likely that this will change. The Cineware plug-in that ships with AE uses the C4D render engine, which means C4D needs to be installed.

The C4D Lite and C4D rendering engine are critical parts of the integrated toolset for After Effects. If you don't want any of it you lose a bunch of functionality, and the disk space is nominal. Why the big fuss? Just curious. I use at least one of the features dependant on C4D about every other day. Most of my work is visual effects and compositing.

I too would like to be able to choose whether or not to install Cinema 4d. It's not part of my workflow, I use Blender for 3d as it's immensely better. And I don't need to use cinema within After Effecst. Can you please let your customers choose whether to install software or not?

In a while I will use Krita and Da Vinci instead of Photoshop and After.So I will also get this break to uninstall C4d every time After updates.
