those edges are important for houdini to know that inner and outher circle are the same polygon, so like outher and inner boundary and not 2 separate polygons/curves

to get rid of them
you can do Fuse SOP to ensure they are connected
then append Hole SOP and check Unhole checkbox to separate them and that edge will magically go away but you will loose your holes so I am not sure you really want to do that

Thanks Tomas,
That's good to know. What I am trying to solve is a problem I'm getting with certain shapes. As you can see in the B once I extrude and poly bevel the edges I get problems with Geo(holes). I only poly bevel the edges on the out side and de-select the ones that I was previously talking about.

My belief is that the edges(The ones I want to delete) are causing the problem.
