GnuPG 2.x *requires* the agent; it does not make sense to use GnuPG 2.x
without setting up the agent as well. It was a deliberate design
decision to have *one* secure daemon for querying and caching
pass-phrases, instead of leaving this to the applications, which will
often do it wrong.
If you really don't want to use the agent, then just keep using GnuPG
1.x, which is actively maintained (and probably will be for a long
time). Note that you can install GnuPG 1.x alongside GnuPG 2.x with no
problems, and every recent distribution I know has packages for both.
