Does anyone know if there is there a name for the idea that new concepts (such as negative numbers, complex numbers or type constructors in a type system) are only ever introduced into a preexisting "system" so that they can be eliminated later, after helping make some progress?

Not sure eliminated is a good word here, or that these concepts are only introduced to be it

You said it, "only ever introduced into a preexisting "system" so that they can be eliminated" I dont think thats true (if I understand your non-standard use of the word "eliminated")
-
I dont think eliminated is a good word I dont think the things you mention are just introduced to be "eliminated"
