IE if a cow bites and crushes my hand regrowth won't give me an uncrippled hand unless I let a lion eat it off entirely.

If you want to be pedantic to the point of uselessness, sure. Also, there are several bits in Powers that indicate Regrowth should help with crippled (but not severed) bits. For example, Regrowth Only (a Limitation) on Regeneration specifically notes how much it reduces crippling time, and Reattachment Only on Regrowth calls out mangled limbs (that is, permanently crippled but not necessarily detached) as not being recoverable as a difference from how Regrowth normally works.

Still, a GM who wants to rule unmodified Regrowth will only work on a cleanly severed limb is well within his rights to do so.
