Firstly: is this option ticked in preferences?

Secondly: if you want the delete anchor point tool in the toolbar, either --

a) Drag it from the tools list to the toolbar

b) Choose the advanced toolbar under Window > Toolbars > Advanced

Thirdly, you should be able to see the Remove Selected Anchor Points button in the Control Bar (Window > Control) or the Properties Panel (Window > Properties):

I feel you. I've used all sorts of art programs, and by far illustrator is the most cumbersome to deal with unless you are used to working on a macintrash.  Remember that the general public was never meant to use it on their own in the first place--which is why it is such a pain in the first place. But the remove anchor point functionality to begin with, why do we need a separate tool for that anyway, there should just be a modifier for it, like every other function, when dealing with what should be called "edit mode". But no such luck, everything--and I mean everything--is designed in such a way as to make it as annoying as humanly possible and at the same time kissing the buns of the established albeit exclusive community (or perhaps the other way around?).
