It may be something wrong on your side.  I also set
'bookmark-default-file' and it is never deleted for me.  Or perhaps it
is related to this 'bm' package you use.

Here is what I have in my init file:

(with-eval-after-load 'bookmark
  (setq bookmark-save-flag 1
        bookmark-default-file ".../my-bookmarks"))
