reverted to previous version (since new question now in separate post). Added follow-up
Jul 17, 2019 at 13:43 comment added AThomas @YCor: Ok, I will do that.
Jul 17, 2019 at 11:36 comment added YCor It is usually not considered fair on this site to modify the question after somebody bothered to post an answer (at least if this answer is not completely trivial and rather worth a comment). I'd recommend you post your modified version as a separate question.

Jul 16, 2019 at 19:38 comment added LSpice As I take @YCor's comment to be indicating, I'm pretty sure that when you refer to "the set of all polynomials $P$ applied to $r(A)$ such that …" and "the space $P \in \mathbb C[x]$ with …", you mean "the set of all values $P(r(A))$ such that …" and "the space of $P(r(A))$ with $P \in \mathbb C[x]$ and …" (that is, that the elements are values of polynomials, not the polynomials themselves—as matters when computing dimension!).
Jul 16, 2019 at 18:55 comment added LSpice I think such elements are usually called regular, not principal.

Jul 16, 2019 at 17:45 comment added YCor "the space $P \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ with $P(r(A)) \in r(\mathfrak{g})$" can concisely be written as $\mathbf{C}[r(A)]\cap r(\mathfrak{g})$.
