Luckily, contacts are easy to remove from an iPad in a few different ways.

How to delete multiple contacts on your iPad using iCloud and a Mac computer
If you have multiple iPad contacts you want to delete, the above, straightforward process can be quite time consuming, so it may be a better idea to put to work a Mac computer that shares an iCloud account with your iPad.
1. On your Mac, launch the System Preferences window from the Apple logo at the top left of the screen.
2. Choose iCloud.
3. Enter your Apple ID and password if prompted, and click Contacts on the next window to merge your iPad and Mac's contacts.
4. Now open the Application window and click on Contacts.
5. While holding down the Command key, scroll through your contacts and click on each contact you wish to delete.
6. Hit the Delete key on your keyboard.
7. Confirm your choice to delete the batch of contacts.
The contacts deleted via iCloud on your Mac will be removed from all other devices connected to iCloud, including your iPad in this case.
