I haven't read about this but is it really that big of a deal? Can't he just delete them?

No. Because Google didn't spam him. His publicly posted email address was listed in error in the a site link of the search result of gmail. Google didn't sent him emails, other people did: http://searchengineland.com/google-search-error-gmail-mistak...
