The OLD includes the following meaning for the noun "removal" in British English:
an act of taking furniture, etc. from one house to another
Is the use of this noun with a similar meaning in expressions such as
this discussion was marked for removal to Sec.II
correct? Or should it be substituted with, e.g.,
this discussion was marked to be moved to Sec.II
?
Clarification in response to comments: my question is if removal can be used in combination with the new location, i.e., "removal to somewhere".

From Constitution of the State of New York Adopted in 1846: In case of the impeachment of the Governor, his removal from office, death, refusal to qualify, resignation, or absence from the State, the President of the Senate shall [do something]. No "furniture removal" implications there.

This question is formulated as a question about the correct use of the prepositions, but it seems me that it is really about the implications of the word removal. In most of its uses, it implies that the move is from some more desirable, more central place, to an inferior, peripheral one (it is somewhat akin to 'banish'). In furniture-related contexts, in British English, it, however, does not have that implication. The question is: can it be used without that implication for something other than furniture?

I have seen the phrase "remove to" to indicate the movement of people, particularly in 19th century writing.
Let men of capital and scientific acquirements remove to Canada and employ poor people....
— The Farmer's Register, 1842
or
PISCATOR. They will not bite for ever in the same place. They are a
cunning animal, and get frightened.
DISCIPULA. Then let us remove to another spot.
— The Knickerbocker, 1844
Google's Ngram Viewer shows a steady decline in usage from 1820 to 1940, but it is still in use to a small degree.
This is the only usage I, a native American English speaker, can recall hearing where "remove" is combined with a destination.
In the example given, I would write
this discussion was marked to be moved to Sec. II
I would only use remove in the sense of delete when referring to text in a document.

This question is formulated as a question about the correct use of the prepositions, but it seems me that it is really about the implications of the word removal. In most of its uses, it implies that the move is from some more desirable, more central place, to an inferior, peripheral one (it is somewhat akin to 'banish'). In furniture-related contexts, in British English, it, however, does not have that implication. The question is: can it be used without that implication for something other than furniture?
