My approach is to delete the default themes using ftp or your control panel file-manager once you have your site up and running.
These themes will not be re-installed when you update WordPress, and will not show up in your update notifications.
I usually keep the TwentySixteen theme on the system as this is the fallback theme in case you have problems with your installed theme.
