Legally, you have two options: Put the dog into quarantine for 10 days and then euthanize without having to worry about having him checked for rabies.. or do it before the 10 day quarantine.. at which point, legally, the head HAS to be submitted to rule out that the dog carried rabies at the time of the bite.
Sure, your friend can lie about it. The euthanasia form will ask him to sign a piece of paper which will say : by signing this, I swear that this dog has not bitten anyone within the last 10 days. He can sign it, and pretend that it didn't happen. Should this come up in court, he'd be in trouble.

It's the law. Sorry. It's not a vet wanting to be an arse, it's the vet following public health laws.
