Why would you need to script that? There's simple serial commands that would only need to be executed once.
As root, simply navigate to the /usr/share/applications directory and them perform your remove commands.

I agree with the post above, a scripts really is not necessary.
For education; here is the N9QTweak take on removing and restoring unwanted icons. ofc you must first back them up to restore.

Code:

echo ""
echo "You can Remove or Restore the not necessary"
echo "icons from your homescreen."
echo "It's not uninstall, it's only remove icons like"
echo "User guide, facebook, twiter..."

echo "1. Remove All"
echo "(Facebook/User guide/Twitter/Ovi Music/Search)"
echo "2. Remove Facebook"

That's it. Then it's gone forever, or until you re-flash. No need to script and automate a one time event like that, is there?

YOU SHOULD BACKUP THE FILE BEFORE REMOVING IT!
Sama suomeksi/The same in Finnish:
Turha tehdä mitään skriptejä kun ihan tavallinen tiedoston poisto riittää. Kopioit vaan tiedoston ensin jonnekin turvaan.

I suggest you just rename the files instead of removing them. That way they can be restored at any time:
mv /usr/share/applications/userguide.desktop /usr/share/applications/.userguide.desktop
Ad the "." in front of the .desktop entry and the icon in the launcher will be hidden.
to restore, simply type it in reverse:
mv /usr/share/applications/.userguide.desktop /usr/share/applications/userguide.desktop
(all as root naturally!)
edit: N9QuickTweak contains this particular script you are talking about already! Tweak J
