I can't turn my transponder off and go fly VFR?

That's correct. If you have a transponder that's operable, it must be on at all
times when you're in the air.

Even in D, E, and G? 91.215 only references class A, B, and C airspace
and I was under the impression (instructor and the Cessna Cleared for
Takeoff book) that unless you were within those areas (or within the
veil outside of the B) that transponder use was optional.

In any controlled airspace. Read 91.215(c). If you got it, squawk it is the
rule.
