I believe you can enter a route with destination 0.0.0.0/0, which is the
same as your default route. Mind you, that will override your WAN's
default gateway (or they might fight with each other and really screw
stuff up, depending on the situation).

in that type of situation, you either need your pfsense WAN interface
connected to your LAN (hence the default gateway will be correct), or if
you have public IP's to spare, the LAN interface can be on your LAN, and
the WAN on the Internet, and you would still not need any static routes
unless your LAN contains subnets other than the primary LAN subnet.
