If you really want to change the default you can using the chsh

Yeah...
It is not a good idea to change the default shell of root or of the only
administrator-privileged user unless you are extremely careful and
understand things like the stages of booting macOS. You especially do
not want to point root's shell at a dynamically linked
/opt/local/bin/bash.
It IS possible to build a mostly-static bash from the port with an ugly
hack that I posted here some time back, and even replace /bin/sh with
that, at least on some MacOS X versions, but I wouldn't even try that
except to obliterate a bash that is still vulnerable to shellshock.
