Your Priority brand bikes and typical cyclocross bikes are very different beasts.
In many senses, the cyclocross bikes ares classic road bikes that can take larger tires which is often popular for commuters.
Your Priority bikes all seem to have some kind of flat bar or moustache bar, and most, other than the Priority Continuum Onyx have 3 speed coaster brakes.

Assuming you don't have big hills, then just about any bike will do the 2.7 mile ride to work. Some people even do that on skateboards.
Your priority bikes with the belt drive and 3 speed coaster brake appear to be well thought out. Although, personally I would have chosen front & rear brakes.
Other options include scouring the used market for the "perfect bike" at a price you won't worry about it getting stolen. But, also keep in mind that the best deals on used bikes usually require significant tune-ups. Hybrids have similar upright riding postures.
