Ok, there are some serious causal problems. A new Avatar is born because the Avatar spirit (manifestation of the spirit of the planet) leaves its old incarnation and gets reborn in the new incarnation. It's not old Avatar's death that makes reincarnation happen; it's the spirit makes reincarnation happen. Same here, as long as the spirit does not leave its current incarnation, there won't be a new Avatar. Depriving Avatar's ability to bend in its current life won't trigger new reincarnation. Since the spirit is still in this Korra incarnation, whether she keeps her bending or not, there won't be a new Avatar this way.
