With the default keys, you could probably do something like

     C-SPC             mark the current position
     M->               go to the end of the buffer
     C-w               kill the region

but if you want to declare your own function

    (defun local/delete-rest-of-buffer ()
      "Delete the buffer contents from the point onwards."
      (delete-region (point) (point-max)))

would probably do the job, without having to append the region to the
kill ring.
