For a non-fish solution, which would work with any shell, use find:
   find . -maxdepth 1 -iname '[b-k]*'
You can change "iname" to "name" to make it sensitive to case.  You can add "-type f" if you want only regular files.

The find command can used with command substitution:
   rm -iv (find . -maxdepth 1 -iname '[b-k]*')  # works in fish
or by itself:
   find . -maxdepth 1 -iname '[b-k]*' -execdir rm -iv '{}' '+'
