how about this:

  (require 'cl)
  (setq default-mode-line-format
        (delete* 'line-number-mode default-mode-line-format
                 :test (lambda (x y) (and (listp y) (eq x (car y))))))
  (setq default-mode-line-format
        (delete* 'column-number-mode default-mode-line-format
                 :test (lambda (x y) (and (listp y) (eq x (car y))))))
