How should I handle this? Just transferring the FSMO roles from the primary DC on the Default Site to a DC in the Branch Office and then demote the two DCs in Default Site and then deleting the Default Site?

The only thing wrong with that is that you referred to the DC that holds 
the FSMO roles as the 'primary DC', there is no such thing as a primary 
DC, all DC's are equal except for the FSMO roles and they can be on any DC.

You do not need to use the default site, it is just there to save having 
to create one.
