Chris is right, you should have only one marker and change it's
position

but to answer your question about your existing code, something like
that should work better :

var prevMarker = null;
var currentMarker = null;

google.maps.event.addListener(map, "click", function(event) {
  prevMarker = currentMarker;
  currentMarker = placeMarker(event.latLng);
});

function placeMarker(location) {
  if (prevMarker != null) {
      prevMarker.setMap(null)
  }
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: location,
      map: map
  });
  return marker;
};
};
