Yes. The word you want is `withhold`.

Clean version:

When you withhold information that is directly relevant, you cannot reasonably claim to be acting cooperatively.

When you withhold information that goes directly to basic fairness, you cannot reasonably describe that as cooperative.

If you want, I can fold that into the full paragraph.

That matters too much for me to set aside. When you withhold information that is directly relevant, you cannot reasonably claim to be acting cooperatively. If you don’t want to answer it directly, I understand that, but then I think we should treat it as a question for counsel rather than proceed as though it doesn’t matter.
