It's in bitcoind's wallet. getnewaddress is an RPC call that works with the built-in wallet, and IIRC will be disabled if wallet functionality is disabled. To send the Bitcoin, there are various send* RPCs as well. Just do bitcoin-cli help to get info on what commands are available, and bitcoin-cli help
