I think "clear" would not put content in the clipboard.

It would be better to ask this in the scripting forum;

Illustrator Scripting

But if that's all you want to do, recording it as an action would be easy.

The fastest way?

Replace your last line

removeAll();

with

app.executeMenuCommand ('cut');

Not positive but I think the second line requires a ; at the end like the other two lines.
