I prefer the format "<table_name>__DF_<column_name>". I think it's more useful to prefix constraints with the table name rather than "DF_". Just because MS did it that way doesn't mean it's...

The second-highest score should always give you the desired value:
SELECT t.ID, t.Score1, t.Score2, t.Score3, ca1.FinalScore
FROM #tmp t
CROSS APPLY (

If the tables are not too large, you could even consider using CASCADE only when deliberately making changes, i.e., drop the FK constraints, recreate them as CASCADE, change the name(s),...

Just UNION (not UNION ALL) the two tables:
SELECT *
FROM #temp1
UNION
SELECT *
FROM #temp2
ORDER BY <column_name>

You can use your initial DELETE, perhaps looping it as well:
DELETE TOP (50000) FROM WHERE DATE BETWEEN X AND Y;
You'd be better off clustering...

You should look into using sql_variant data type, it could help you do this. You'd have to use the desired data type, or cast to an explicit type, when loading...
