I mean it should be like a basic right on the Net to have your account deleted.

No, it shouldn't. Most forums don't allow account deletion including post deletion, because it would destroy many threads and make it extremely hard for later visitors to follow the conversation.

Since HN doesn't require you to put any personal details, you can just throw out your email address and your account will remain as an empty hull holding the strings of your past conversations.
