I just got into my top choice - Stanford. I pretty much know to want to go there based on their curriculum structure and opportunities over pretty much any other school, and was very fortunate to get an acceptance there. The thing is, I interviewed at a few other top places, but I have no intention of going to those places over the one I have now. Should I just withdraw from them pre-decision since they release in March? Then I can just fully commit to the school I have now by the time the 'choose your med school tool' comes out in February.

If you have an acceptance at your top school, yes you should/can withdraw pending apps.

Congratulations. Yes, you can commit early and not wait. Many admissions officers will appreciate your professionalism for it.

And you give others a chance to pursue their dreams

it is ok to withdraw even though I interviewed at those places right? Just want to be clear. This isn't unprofessional or anything, right?

No. It is professional.

Withdraw and let other people achieve their dreams. And congrats on the accept!

I’m going to be a dissenting voice and say to keep a couple of apps in, especially if they are at lower cost schools. I’d hate to see you withdraw and then be hit with a curve ball with finances, etc, that would make Stanford not doable.
