This is really not how networkd is supposed to be used. Either it
manages an interface in its entirety or not at all. It's not designed
to manage an interface only "half-way", i.e. manage addresses but not
the routes.

I am sorry, but networkd really isn't the right tool for what you are
trying to do.
