remove the BuiltIn admins group or remove its membership from the Sysadmin role in each sql server instance to impede Windows administrators

Just note that it will impede them, not completely prevent them from getting access. If someone has local admin rights and are determined enough (and knowledgeable enough) they'll still be able to access SQL.

Note: In SQL Server 2008 admin users are no longer automatically granted admin access to SQL Server, someone has obviously granted the admins access during the installation

Before you do anything, I recommend talking with a manager and stating a case why this is an issue, or why you want to remove it. It might be required by SOX, or there could be another reason.
Personally I liked having remote hands of admins available when I needed it, but I also made sure they were responsible for anything they did without my instruction.

We simply deny access and login rights on the status tab of the database login profile. This is for DOMAIN\Administrator login.

I'm not so sure about that. I installed 2008R2 yesterday while logged in under my own domain account and it created DOMAIN\Administrator user as sysadmin.
