Requests for nouns, adjectives, or phrases that answer questions of the form “What do you call a person who . . . ?” Although these are not necessarily negative, they are often used pejoratively as “words that wound” against persons or acts one disapproves of, as in “racial epithets”.

What's a formal-noun that means an unprincipled, unpleasant person?

You could say that the person is "uncivil", which is very formal. It means "discourteous; impolite". In general, we would say that a jerk/bastard lacks basic civility.
