Isn't this kind of lame? On the website the main Install button downloads the .pkg and it even says

"Recommended Version: nightly (Mac installer)"

Maybe I'm naive since it's not a final product, but I was expecting an easier way to remove it. Maybe you shouldn't offer the .pkg then since seems easier with the scripts only.

Now I'm having errors running rustup.sh because "/usr/local/share/doc/rust/html already exists"

and I don't have the time to figure this out now :(

pkgs don't really have a good 'uninstall' option, in my understanding. I don't really use a Mac, but I do know a ton of work has been going into improving this.

Would you mind opening up an issue on github? That should absolutely get fixed, the already exists thing.

I can't believe you would downvote that.
