Default Mill-Drill as Drill?

This is really an argument against selling the drill!
Setup often costs much more time than the operation itself.


I'd be inclined to keep both.
If space is that much of a problem, sell your full-size DP and get a
$100 bench-top drill press. That will do most of what you need.
No place to set even that? Crank the MD table over and clamp the small
DP to the end of the table.
