Just because you had the idea to build an USB charger doesn't mean your finished circuitry becomes art. In fact, your "idea" is more like a specification, which your design (hopefully) satisfies. Because it doesn't express an idea, it fullfills a function. Which is something inherent in engineering. It's not in art.You gave me the answer yourself:

Designing a ciruit or building an electronic gadget is as much art as deciding to buy a new TV. It may well contain some creativity, but it's a far cry from what is accepted as "art".
I get what you want to argue, however you will not find much support for your line of argueing.
