Sorry, the subject of my mail should have been "... all non-self-insert
kes.

The following variant does what I want:

        K=( ' ' ! '\"' \# $ % \& \' \( \) \*  +   ,   -  .  /
             0  1   2   3 4 5  6  7  8  9  : \;  \<   = \> \?
             @  A   B   C D E  F  G  H  I  J  K   L   M  N  O
             P  Q   R   S T U  V  W  X  Y  Z \[ '\\' \]  ^  _
            \`  a   b   c d e  f  g  h  i  j  k   l   m  n  o
             p  q   r   s t u  v  w  x  y  z \{  \|  \} \~     )

        for ((k=0; k<95; k++)); do
            bind -r "\e${K[k]}"
            bind -r "\e\C-${K[k]}"
            bind -r "\C-x\C-${K[k]}"
            bind -r "\C-x${K[k]}"
            bind -r "\C-${K[k]}"
        done

        for k in O{A,B,C,D,H,F} \\e [200; do
            bind -r "\e$k"
        done

        bind -f /0/e/inputrc

        unset k K

But this means nearly 500 bind -r commands. And that was the reason for
my original mail, the question, if there is a less expensive way to get
what I want.

And another problem: after removing all \C-x sequences I used bind -x
to bind a shell command to \C-x proper. The result, when hitting \C-x,
is the following error message:

        bash_execute_unix_command: cannot find keymap for command

Using a sequence other than \C-x works as expected.
My guess is that \C-x can't be used alone. And that this can only be
changed in the source code.
