That is because to remove an image from a Smart Collection you have to delete or change the criteria that got it selected for the Smart Collection in the first place. It is a dynamic Collection. Images are added or removed via the criteria, unlike 'dumb' Collections.

I'm not so Smart
Yea, I figured it was "smarter" than I, so I went into the original folders where the original photos were located and then deleted the rejected photos.
However, it would be a nice option to be able to do this from the collection instead.

Ah, I think you want the keyboard "shortcut" Opt Cmd Shift Delete - Alt Ctrl Shift Delete on PC.
