The "good morning" scene is very close to how it was written in the book, plus it's necessary to get things rolling!
Yes, Tauriel and Legolas may be difficult to edit around until we see the 3rd movie. However I do think many of the elf scenes can be trimmed regardless. Peter Jackson is trying very hard to make these films into LOTR-level epics but the core story is just not on that level. Focusing on Bilbo and the dwarf company should be the priority.
