Hello Jeff,
I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Do you mean that when the user haven't set their biography, just make it empty and do not show this sentences "Blogger has not set up their biography yet" right? If yes, you can remove the code from
JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\tables\profile.php
REMOVE LINE 263 until 269
if( empty( $status ) )
{
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang->load( 'com_easyblog' , JPATH_ROOT );
$status = JText::sprintf( 'COM_EASYBLOG_BIOGRAPHY_NOT_SET' , $this->getName() );
}
Remove Tag Option
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\dashboard\system\dashboard.write.tags.php
REMOVE LINE 37 until 70
<div class="write-posttags">
<div class="ui-sectionsep"><div><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_DASHBOARD_WRITE_TAGS_HEADING'); ?></div></div>
<div class="tag-form">
<div class="tag-creation">
<ul class="tag-list creation reset-ul float-li clearfix">
<?php if ($this->acl->rules->create_tag): ?>
<li class="new-tag-item">
<input type="text" name="tag-input" class="tag-input tagInput canCreate width-full" autocomplete="off"/>
<button type="button" class="tag-create"><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_ADD_TAG'); ?></button>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="tag-selection no-selection">
<?php if (!$this->acl->rules->create_tag): ?>
<div class="tag-selection-filter-container"><input type="text" class="tag-selection-filter tagInput" autocomplete="off"/></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="tag-no-selection-hint"><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_DASHBOARD_NO_TAGS_AVAILABLE'); ?></div>
<ul class="tag-list selection reset-ul float-li clearfix"></ul>
<div class="tag-selection-actions clearfix">

<?php if( $system->config->get( 'max_tags_allowed' ) > 0 ) { ?>
<span class="tag-limit"><span class="total-tags">0</span>/<span class="max-tags"><?php echo $system->config->get( 'max_tags_allowed' ); ?> <?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYBLOG_NUMBER_TAGS_ALLOWED' ); ?></span></span>
<?php } ?>

Unfortunately the "Publishing Options" can't make hide or remove it
About the "Publishing under", "Creation date", "Publishing date" and "Unpublishing date" can't make it remove, because when the user create a new post need to save this kind of data in the database, so the post can verify which user and date to post it in your blog. Only this few option can set it disable from your backend setting, see my screenshot below :
