I would transport it in a locked container if you think you'll be going through school zones. It's just safer that way. Gun laws make no sense.
No. Because while it's under 30", it's also NOT a "semi-automatic, centerfire rifle" yet.Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

It's still a firearm, regardless of whether or not it it's configured to be fireable. Try taking UOC a gun that has the firing pin removed on an elementary school campus and see if you don't get convicted. It's legally the exact same situation.
Does it make sense that you have to treat a stripped lower as a complete rifle?
NO.
Does the vast majority of California gun law make sense, either, though?Comment
