Thus, in order to do what you want, you would have to use something like cvs2cl.pl to find out when a tag has been created approximately, and use that information to in an automated way (shell script) to delete the tags.

If you have the tag names (tag1 ... tag5), use cvs tag -D tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4 tag5 If you have very much tags, exceeding the command line length, you might want to have a look at the xargs Unix command (available on Windows via Cygwin, too).
