You have to report all a-g courses on your CSU application including grades so there is no option to omit. If your transcript does not match your self-reported academic record and if you are accepted and enroll, your admission could be rescinded. Chemistry and Physics are Physical science classes that need to be reported either both in the D2 section or one in the D2 Section and one in the G section.

The CSU GPA caps the # of Honors points at 8 semesters (OOS Honors classes do not get the extra points) so the more a-g courses you add to your application, the lower the calculated GPA will get due to the cap. A -.1 difference is Negligible. Also the maximum calculated CSU capped weighted GPA is 4.4 regardless of what your HS transcript states.

Also note Cal poly SLO uses 9-11th a-g grades for their GPA calculation with the same 8 semester Honors point cap while the rest of the CSU’s use 10-11th grades. The CSU application calculates the CSU capped weighted GPA not the SLO GPA.
