“Would I hurt my chances by applying as a biomedical engineering major?”

Central part of your thread. You care greatly about being proficient and doing well.

“but I need to prove to colleges that I am proficient in math. If I get 750+ on SATI and on Math IIC, plus A- second semester this year, would this be good enough?”
“my math grades dipped from A+ freshman year to B+ sophomore year (horrific grade on final exam because I skipped the last page by mistake)”

As stated, you want to be proficient but this borders on a need for perfection. I mean really. Why bother asking if near perfect scores are good enough? Of course they are!

"I think I can get an A- this semester (which is a great grade at my school in honors pre-cal). "
“Other than getting the B+ and B, I would have all As on my transcript”

Again, if your confidant you can pull it up and have a great transcript then why ask? Because you missed perfection by a small margin? Its OK. Everyone fails sometimes.
But you already know “that 2 Bs won’t really kill me at all”. So that isn’t right either. Maybe you just want everyone to praise and say how good you are then. Or maybe you just didn’t think when posting the thread that you already knew your the best of the best and were fine. I dunno. But your right, no need to argue. I’m done.
