You don't have to use old pads. Just use a spacer to prevent the piston from pushing right out. I have used a flat crowbar as a spacer to do this (I was unseizing the caliper). But try pushing all the pistons back in. You may push trapped air out the other way. Also the total volume to bleed is much smaller with the pistons in. From what you have said your MC is ok so it must be air. If that does not work you should use the clamps like Don said to try to isolate the problem.
Not trying to insult you, but you did bleed all three screws on the front calipers
