Of course you can't sue them and get enough money to retire on. They didn't destroy your life, they had a misconfigured form on their damn website. Send them an email, "I recently used your website and it appeared that several demographic questions did not have "Prefer Not To Say"/"No Answer" options, which I am used to seeing. I think these are fair to people who do not wish to provide that information at that time, and have understood opt-out options might even be required by anti-discrimination law. I wanted to let you know about this concern and hope you can fix it." Do it from a throwaway email if you are particularly paranoid.

Most HR systems default to allowing a decline due to it being a legal requirement. I spoke to someone I know who worked HR in the valley for years - it requires quite a bit of effort to override that. So the issue isn't so much a minor mistake, it's purposefully reconfiguring a system in an illegal manner to aid discrimination. (And it is absolutely illegal to refuse to accept an application without this information)
