Please do let me know how you get on. Surely the culled Sims data must be retrievable some how? I know we could do this with SimPE for The Sims 2.
Ah yes, the test is already done and the results are here.
Edit. Ah, I see insightful reaction. Eh, I'll let it stay here.

The blue-screen overlords had mercy on me! I tested it out and here's my result.
The second guess was correct.
The game will not let you assign any sim as their parent, even if the sim you're trying to assign as a parent is older than them.
For some odd reason, the game will still allow you to create a parent from genetics. However, once you accept the generated sim, they won't be auto-assigned as a parent. In addition, if you initiate creating a parent when another sim is selected, the sim with their parents culled won't be in the selection.
So yes, you can't create new parents to them unfortunately, even though the original ones were culled.
Unfortunately, I don't know about how the data could be retriveable. Hopefully someone who knows the game more code-side could help.
