Is there a way to rename the BODY...

I actually need it exported as a div tag instead. Is there some way to automate this?

I think the best way is to create a div inside the body and pop all the contents into it. If you had given the body some styling, give the same styling to the new div. After that, select the new div and make a component of it and save it in the component library.
Then you can open a new (or the other) project and add the component onto a page. If the new/other project already has some content, you may have some sorting of class names to do if you are using class names that also have been used in what you import.

The mention of automating, and the post elsewhere about "exporting" using Right-Click Copy Element HTML, suggest that you may want to do this multiple times.

In those circumstances I would automate it in the Clipboard, for which I would use TextCrawler or similar program set up as follows:

Input from Clipboard
Output to Clipboard
Regular Expression
Reg Ex. <body>(.*?)</body>
Replace <div>$1</div>

Clicking Replace then does the job in the Clipboard.

Yes, I am making edits and going back and forth with the html and css to my js application to make sure things are working correctly, so every time I move the code it needs to be as seamless as possible. I dont want to have to make many repetitive edits each time. Ideally, none.

If the Body tag could just be renamed to div somehow, that would be perfect, but it doesn't look like this is possible.

The solution to have an extra div within the body tag in theory should work but there are additional issues caused by having a body tag (at all) in my app.

One could create the extra wrapping div as suggested by Inger and do the Right-Click Copy Element HTML on the div rather than on the body.

I find it useful to set up one's own template for new projects and set it as the default for new projects: mine is simple an empty div in the body. When the project is open I duplicate that page, and the content for each page goes into that ready-made div.
