Just got word from my smoke that my BN CDR and CSM are pushing to remove my airborne status and send me to a non Airborne unit. This is because I’ve been on profile for my knee for the past 10 months, yet I have been still jumping and taking PT tests, etc. Do they have the authority to take it away even if I’m unwilling and technically not medically terminated?

Your Battalion leadership cannot take away your Airborne identifier. You can request to have it removed, or you can be found medically unfit to keep it. A temporary profile is not enough to remove you from Airborne status permanently. You would need a permanent profile that prohibits you from Airborne operations. The other option to remove it is that you must request to have it removed on a 4187. No one can make that request for you, at least not for being on a temporary profile.

Do you have any regulation references? I looked on AR 600-8-22 but I wasn’t able to find anything specifying the exact terms which it can be removed and by whom.

CPL (Join to see) usually I would applaud your request for a reference, but there's no reference for things that you can't do. The only thing you can find is how it's removed, which is voluntarily. I can't remember the reference now, but it was discussed in another RP post under "How long do I have to jump?" or something similar. The reference was posted there.
To sum it up, you have to voluntarily request to have your identifier removed. Also, it can be removed if you're physically unable to jump for medical reasons. I have never seen any other way, and I've seen plenty of 1SGs who told their guys there was no way they were staying Airborne.

That doesn’t make sense. I understand that you’re on a profile but if you’re still meeting the requirements to maintain your status. Either way HRC is the only ones that can remove the SQI “P” from your records. If that is the commands intent they will need to provide some justification.
