I agree that Gatekeeper overreaches, but then I like not getting viruses.

That’s because you don’t authorize it there. Once you try and tu it, and it’s rejected, opening the security and privacy preferences should reveal an option to authorize from the initial tab, you can’t pre-authorize the script for full disk access because of the same reasons you need to authorize it in the first place. Other apps that ask for full disk access are properly signed so Apple trusts them to an extent and lets the user decide how much they want to trust the app.
