BA doesn't code-share anything out of AVL, so I can't book on BA - and don't want separate tickets because of checked luggage and the risk of misconnecting.

Any tips on how to accomplish this?
Your best practical best despite your concerns may be paying cash for the AVL connection and then booking BA using Avios from ATL, ORD, JFK or MIA. Give yourself sufficient layover time or fly from AVL the day before and the separate tickets shouldn't be that big of a problem.
