If you are proficient in Scheme, you could use the -e SCHEME-CODE
command line option for lilypond-bin to achieve this, something like

  -e "(define-public my-remove-tag part)"

  
(lilypond.py doesn't support this option)

The other solution is to do

    echo "#(define-public my-remove-tag tag" > tag-include.ly

and \include "tag-include.ly".
