You don't have to take any brake off at all.
Particularly if you intend to ride it on the road and in traffic I strongly suggest you leave them both in place.
On full-sized bikes the front brake is the strongest, but with the short wheel base of a BMX, it might make more sense to leave the rear brake in place, if you think you have to pull one off.
