How much value do new stickers (2019 Daytona) actually have?

Exactly!
Well said!

it's polished at the factory by a tech before the stickers so...................

The factory finish of a band new Rolex is and will always be different from a watch that has been repolished (by a third party or even by Rolex AD or RSC). So yes there is value / premium on a watch being unpolished.
If I have the choice between two watches that are both in new condition and never worn. One with stickers and one without then I would not pay a premium. But a watch that does not have stickers might have been repolished.

So what if its been polished as long as its been done correctly how many time have my own working tool watch been polished below.
