However, doesn't the above give LEGO the exclusive and unlimited right to use
any final product I create with the Brick-o-Lizer™ in any way it sees fit,
while completely preventing me from doing the same?

Uh, no.  It just means that if LEGO puts some of their copyrighted material
into the final product, they retain copyright.

I suppose this will restrict what you do with the mosiac, since TLC could
potentially hold copyright on some portions.  But, I *assume* they're
asserting copyright to elements of the *instructions* and elements of the
elements.  Not elements of your picture, because you have copyright to the
picture.
