I can't make "click to add text" disappear in the uppermost part of the
pyramid where I don't want any text.

Have you tried the obvious
Click in the box, double-click the placeholder
content, press Delete. Another option: Click in the box, type a character,
then Backspace. Either method works here, just don't try to delete the box.
If you do everything resizes.
Describe what's happening in detail if these ideas don't work for you.

Thank you and Yes I have done the obvious, I backspaced out, typed and
deleted characters, selected and deleted but the click to add text keeps
reappearing. I finally got rid of it by hitting the space bar several times
but I am not satisfied with that solution. I thought there should be a
specific procedure.

I don't know of anything expressly designed for the purpose. I've tried both
the Basic & the Segmented Pyramid in both Word 2007 and Word 2008 on my Mac.
Same success in all cases.
That tells me you're working with a Word 97-2003 file or an RTF in
Compatibility Mode - take a look at the Title Bar. That format doesn't
support the *new* graphics engine which allows the capability. If you save
as a .docx you should be able to insert one of the actual SmartArt Diagrams.
As long as you're dealing with a file format earlier than .docx the
workaround you've discovered is the only way I know of other than text the
same color as the box or covering it with another shape. Neither of the
latter strike me as being preferable
