I want to be able to delete a file from the GUI, but delete it, not move it to the trash can... and I don't want to have to clean the trash either.

You can use Applescript (or possibly Automator) to create a Droplet to do these action for you. Just tell the computer to take the files that were dropped onto the droplet, delete them, and then empty the trash. Maybe place the droplet in the dock, sidebar, or desktop for your convienience.
Also (from Mac Help):
Press the Option key when you choose Empty Trash to prevent the warning message from appearing. You can also turn off the warning in the Advanced pane of Finder Preferences.
P.S. - I'm picky about my trash can too...lol

Cmd-Opt-Shift-Delete maybe? I am not sure but.
I think that may just be the shortcut to delete the entire trash can.
