This is one thing that bothers me too. As you've noticed, as soon as you demolish the window, Revit infills the wall. This is because no opening element exists now so the wall must complete itself. Now, instead of copy/pasting alinged your new windows, you need to manually place one in the "new construction" view. This will allow your window to cut th infill wall, thus hiding the cmu hatch. After you manually place the first new window, you can copy multiple to place all the other instances you need on that level. It takes longer, but that will do it. Maybe someone here will know a better solution.
