That's the way it is supposed to be.  "Clear ip route *" will remove
the routes from the active routing table, and re-fill it from all
sources of routing information (static, BGP, OSPF, ...).

It will not affect those sources - i.e., if you want to get rid of a
static route, deconfigure it from configure mode, with 
   "no ip route ..."

- same command you used to get it there (if in doubt, check "show run"),
just prefixed with a "no".  

As in nearly all cases when you want to un-configure something in IOS.
