Well, you can byte-compile your .emacs as well. It is
just another Elisp file...

Anyway, here (last) is a refined version, if you
don't mind...

I wonder tho... why does (insert-char 13) insert ^M
but M-x insert-char 13 RET inserts ^S?

(defun delete-c-m (&optional beg end)
  (interactive (if (use-region-p)
                   (list (region-beginning) (region-end))
                 (list (point-min) (point-max)) ))
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char beg)
    (while (search-forward "\r" end t)
      (replace-match "" nil t) )
    (set-buffer-modified-p nil) ; can be user or omitted...
    ))
;; (insert-char 13)
