I see why the removal of killmails is not possible at this stage. But I really do wish they were never included in the first place. I am sick of seeing fleet members assign 1 gun to 7 targets despite primary to farm killmails in fleetbattles...
This issue isn't a game mechanic but a behaviour. Just spank the idiot, and kick him out if the spanking didn't work. Other idiots will stop being idiots, then, or they won't be in your gang. Either way, problem solved.

Seeing people who can easily afford to replace a ship don't fly them in 1v1's because it will 'ruin their K/D' and I think one of the biggest reasons that no 1v1's can ever be trusted to be honoured is because there is a bigger incentive not to lose other than just losing the ship itself. Another thing that killmails cause, Basilisks/Guardians fitting weapons, suicide ganking hulks (I know you gain isk from the drops, but the main motivations is isk efficiency stats.)
I have even found myself leaving behind my bigger toys in favour of cheaper ones where even though I could buy that Navy Issue Megathron 10x over I don't because my isk efficiency will get screwed.
Who care about ratios? It ruin your game only if you choose to pay attention to them.
When I look at my killboard, I look only at two things: my number of kills, and my place compared to my corpmates. And I fly what I like to fly, I don't give a rat-ass about the impact on ratios if I lose it.

But worst of all you have no choice but to care about your KB stats because that is the only reflection of you as a PvPer and with bad KB stats noone will recruit you in to a new corp and noone will consider you a decent PvPer, even if you die more because you 'actually' pvp where you are presented with genuine risks rather than garunteed ganks.
Unless you have a truely terrific record (like, losing BCs to frigs in 1v1), any recruiter worth it's salt will be more interested in activity thant actual isk ratios.
PS: if you lose pvp-fit faction ships, the recruiters will think you brave, or not overly obssessed with your wallet, and that will work out in your favor.
