Agreed - although I tend to find it doesn't come out through the amp much.

Are you adding any shims to alter the neck angle?
If you're tweaking the truss rod then it can take a little while for the neck to settle - it's not a quick process, I wonder if you're over doing things expecting to see immediate results.

I can live with a little bit of buzz played without plugging in, if I want it super low and check it sounds ok through an amp - I hate any choking on bends though but you shouldn't suffer that on a Suhr neck.
I'm assuming a well cut nut and no raised frets of course.

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

What sort of bridge does it have? Could easily be a saddle screw vibrating, and that's easily tested - put a bit of blue tack or something over the head of the screw to 'stick' it to the saddle. If the buzzing goes, you need some thread lock.
I wouldn't worry about the green streak. Suhr are a factory production guitar - they won't check every single bit of wood - things like that slip through the net, and it probably won't affect the sound or playability.
Looks like a mineral streak, it's the kind of thing that wouldn't bother me if the guitar is outstanding.

I would personally want a refund. Whether discoloured maple is structurally inferior to wood that isn't discoloured is irrelevant. On a high-end guitar, everything should be right.
There is no guarantee that anyone will keep any guitar forever and your average Suhr buyer will be no more accepting of cosmetic issues as a PRS buyer. This will be an issue for you, if you decide to part with it.
I would throw no money whatsoever at stopping the buzzing - get your cash back and buy a better example.

FYI half of the bridge came off in transit but I put it back on the knife edge. I don't think that would cause the buzz issues!
