You can remove the splash screen but it is not a good idea as it will result in a black or white screen to be visible instead.

Every Ionic / Cordova App simply needs a bit of time to initialize and will not render anything on the screen until it is ready. Once the initialization is done the App is ready to use and you can remove the splash screen. If you check src/app.component.ts you will find the following line:

this.platform.ready().then(() => {
    this.splashScreen.hide();
});

The preferences you mention above simply give you additional control over the appearance of the splash screen.
