Can I have a lower age restriction for my game when I hide blood for low ages?

Someone asked a similar question recently; here’s the final paragraphs of my response that are the most relevant for your question:

@StrongBigeMan9

Even if you checked that in order to decide if blood is enabled or disabled in the game for that player, I don’t think that would change how you would fill out the Experience Questionnaire since blood would still be present in the game , even if not for every player. This means that you would still need to be honest about whether or not the game includes blood, in addition to clarifying how realistic it is:

If your experience includes blood, including within any asset type, you must disclose it within the experience questionnaire and specify whether the realism of blood is unrealistic or realistic.

TL;DR

Unless you removed all of the blood that was included in the game, it’s unlikely for the age rating to be lifted.
