The way I got around this is either with adb push/pull or enable sshd.
with cyanogenmod, its just a question of enabeling ssh by editing two or so
files.
I don't know if stock android 4.4 comes with sshd. at worst you might
have to install busybox or such.

Apparently there is a root application/method to control this datacreap
which will block the requests even if the app wants it, but finding the
instructions is still on the todo pile.
