Would of been best back then if the Catholic Church were to secularize the Pagan holidays and give them a different day away from the Christian holidays?

No, because the secular holidays wouldn't have been secular. The pagans would have retained their old beliefs. If you're going to celebrate a day of worship, you might as well be worshiping the one, true God and be doing it in a Church-approved way.
It's a good thing that most people only have a vague sense of the pagan origins of many holiday practices – it means that the Church effectively stamped out those forms of pagan worship. Regardless, most of the practices on Christian holidays aren't as pagan as modern secularists seem to think they are.

It's a good thing that European (and other native) pre-Christian traditions are reformatted to a Christian purpose, as long as there's nothing wrong with the tradition in the first place.
The church obviously can't tell a newly converted Christian people that there's nothing wrong with an idolatrous non-Christian religious practice
