You post is titled "Converting an epub without making a TOC". Make up your mind. Are you trying to create an epub without a TOC or one with a toc that points elsewhere?
calibre does not generate a contents list when creating epub files. If your epub has a toc as part of its main text, then that toc was present in the input document.
Do this
echo test > test.txt && ebook-convert test.txt .epub && ebook-viewer test.epub
You will see that the epub has no inline TOC, i.e. it has only two pages, the cover and a page with the single word test on it.
