If you look at "C-h v org-mode-map", you'll find there something like
this:

  (67108903)

previously it was:

  (67108903 . org-cycle-agenda-files)

and my wish is to remove this sexp from 'org-mode-map' completely.

No, it doesn't: 'bind-key' (thus 'unbind-key') is just a wrapper for
'define-key', and as Stefan wrote, 'define-key' does not remove a key
from a keymap, it just binds it to nil.  So when you press the key, you
get "<key> is undefined", while I want to remove the key (to make a key
from a parent map take precedence).
