AIUI that's by design. Partitioned space is not 'free' by anaconda's
definition, and anaconda will not just assume you don't care about the
partition and reallocate it. 'Free space' only refers to *unallocated*
space.

Custom partitioning ought to show the partition and let you choose to
format it and assign it a mount point, of course.
