“Will this grade affect my chances dramatically”

Probably not.

However, calculus will depend a lot on algebra 2 and trig, and a lot of STEM courses including CS courses will depend a lot on algebra and on calculus. Thus algebra / trig / calculus is an area where it is worth a bit of extra effort to try to get a solid grasp of the concepts. I would avoid skipping over any additional math classes.

That’s amazing that you have figured out your entire high school schedule. I agree with DadTwoGirls–master math, not for the grade, but to help you in everything else. Oh–The GPA for UC admission is calculated on the A-G classes taken in sophomore and junior year. PE and yoga don’t count.
