The sister was never a rallying point for rebellion.
Male primogeniture was taken so overwhelmingly seriously that she meant nothing.
Tudor's very public pledge to marry her would suggest otherwise.

This is true, but it does nothing to bolster any of your claims.
Neither Elizabeth of York nor Elizabeth Woodville EVER suggested that the Princes were dead, nor did they suggest that the rightful claim to the throne would pass through Elizabeth.
Had Richard been the villain who murdered the princes wouldn't it have made sense to kill Elizabeth (and her sisters) so that any sons she had wouldn't have a claim to the throne? Keep in mind that Tudor's incredibly tenuous claim to the throne derived from his MOTHER'S semi-legitimate line.
