Doesn't seem to work. I did all the changes and added the IP found by searching for "find my IP" on Google. But if I refresh the frontpage 5 times I still see five more views the number of views increase in cadmin.

Do you have a static IP address?

is there a way to delete views from the DB based on IP?

No, this is not possible because it will not log the IP address with each new view

Open /classes/class_system.php in an editor and find:
    function stats()
    {
        global $config, $security, $database, $preferences, $user, $ipaddr;


then add:
if( $ipaddr != "xx.xx.xx.xx")
{


and add:
}

to the end of the stats function, right before:
        function encode_array( $var )

Is there any way to disable it for the submit pad, frontpage and the "thank you for your file submission" interstitial as well?

Maybe in the 2.2 release.

As a suggestion, it would be nice if you could add this an option in cadmin (maybe for all the modules) instead of having to modify the source code.

For files views?

Open /modules/files/filesdetails.php in an editor and change:
$database -> dbquery( "UPDATE " . DB_PREFIX . "esselbach_ct_files SET file_views = file_views + 1 WHERE file_seo = '" . $page_query . "' AND (file_website = '0' OR file_website = '" . intval( $config[ 'WEBSITE' ] ) . "')" );


to:
if( $ipaddr != "xx.xx.xx.xx")
{
    $database -> dbquery( "UPDATE " . DB_PREFIX . "esselbach_ct_files SET file_views = file_views + 1 WHERE file_seo = '" . $page_query . "' AND (file_website = '0' OR file_website = '" . intval( $config[ 'WEBSITE' ] ) . "')" );
}


and replace xx.xx.xx.xx with your IP address
