i tried to set the quantity of some (optional) parts on my Wanted List to zero.
But it seems to be impossible to reach a 100% green bar this way, which is weird?
Example:
SomePart, Want: 1, Have: 1
AnotherPart, Want: 0, Have: -
leads to a 50% green bar.
It should be at 100% (because my requirements are met) or am i missing something?

0 = 1
If you don’t want an item, you need to remove it or change the Have.

If i Want 0 and i Have 0, i am happy, right? The result should intuitively be
100%.
I know i could simply remove the item, but it would be more tedious to re-add
it later than simply change the Want quantity. Changing Have to 1, even if i
don't have the item is a possible - but counter-intuitive - workaround.
In my opinion, setting Want to 0 should count this specific item as fullfilled,
regardless of Have (including Have: 0).

0 ÷ 0 = 0
0 ÷ 0 = 1
0 ÷ 0 = ∞
This is not really about maths.
Want 0 represents "i don't want to buy this item (at the moment)" so in combination
with Have 0 it means "i don't want this item, i don't have it, i'm
fine with this".
And "i'm fine with this" should not result in displaying "an item is missing",
right?

Note that I was only describing how it works. I can’t change it
I think the rationale is simply that if the item is in a WL, it means you want
at least one.
Maybe also to prevent user errors: “eh, the item is in my WL but it’s not found/bought!”
Note that you can also move the item to another WL. This way you can even keep
a real quantity and search/buy this WL only when you want.
You can buy/search multiple WLs at once.

Valid points.
I'm new here so i did not notice the possibility to move items between WLs,
yet. Thanks!
(Maybe it should not be possible to set Want to 0, which would prevent user errors
and my confusion about the "wrong" progress bar?)
I agree that if I want 0, then I don't want any, and have=0 means fulfilled.
Sometimes I would like to keep an item in a WL but with want=0, but not only
will it not show 100% completion, also those parts will appear, with incorrect
wanted=1, if I click the Buy-all button.
I personally do not think "people might accidentally set want=0 when they mean
want=1" is a valid reason. People might as well set 0 when they want 4, or
2 when they want 7, or a million other things. The times when that assumption
causes things to become what was intended are most likely less than the times
it causes (or keeps) things not to be.
One could mark want=0 with a color in the WL (similar to how want is color-coded)
to help people spot unintentional zeroes.
