Recently, one of the players rated over 2400 resigned a number of tournament games that say they are Rated, but he lost no points from his rating. How can that be?

Because there were fewer than two moves.

Why wouldn't he just delete the game?

You can't delete a tournament game or a clan game. So if the gameload is too high and a new round in a tournament begins, the player can just resign the games, doesn't loses rating points and does not impede the progress of the tournament
