I'm building a small bathroom in my basement. It will have a shower
stall, not a tub. But all the faucet fixtures for sale in the DIY
stores sell fixtures with the tub faucets too, which for me will be a
waste of money. Furthermore, it is the tub spigot that turns the
showerhead on and off, right? So how does this work if I don't have a
tub spigot? WIll I have to buy the full set and throw away the tub
kit, and if so, how will the shower head be always "turned on"?

You aren't looking hard enough. Everyone sells shower-only faucet sets.
e.g. Look for a Delta model 1323 at Home Depot (Store SKU #: 413320)

On the other hand, having a spout that will deliver full-flow
for filling buckets is frequently vary convenient. So having
a tub-spout in a shower stall isn't as dumb as it might appear.
Although I'd go with a hose-bib if possible.

That's why I prefer the european style slide-bar with the faucet on the end
of a 5 foot hose. Works great for showers, and handles buckets with aplomb
:-)

All the mfr make a shower-only fixture.
You can even buy just the valve(s) and add your
own choice of shower head.

look thru their bath selection as one example.
