C.UTF-8 is not shown on purpose, because it doesn't need to be
generated, it is always available on the system. What you want is
probably to be able to select it as a default locale.
The real issue is that the menu to select the default locale is only
shown if there is a locale to generate.

A better workaround is probably to select a random locale to be
generated, then you should be able to select the C.UTF-8 locale as
default.
