Try

#+BIND: org-export-latex-title-command ""

at the top of your org file. This should eliminate the \maketitle
invocation. \title, \date etc will still be defined but since only
\maketitle uses them, they won't affect the output.

I presume you'll also want to nuke the table of contents. If so,
add

#+OPTIONS: toc:nil

at the top of the org file as well.

HTH,
