In order to change the visual appearance of controls, you have to change their default style or control templates. If you have installed Telerik UI for WPF you can find the default styles for controls here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\<Your Telerik Version Folder>\Themes.Implicit\WPF40

From your screenshot I guess that you are using the Fluent theme. The resources for the RadDatePicker can be found in \Fluent\Themes\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml.

What you describe in your screenshot as a border is actually the background of the calendar control. It only appears to be a border, because the buttons within the calendar have a margin that makes the background visible.

As you can see below, the LayoutRoot Grid defines a margin in the control template of CalendarButton.

<ControlTemplate TargetType="calendar:CalendarButton">
   <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent" Margin="{StaticResource CalendarButtonMargin}">
   <!-- ...other template code. -->
</ControlTemplate>

In order to remove the margin, copy the CalendarButtonStyle style and remove the Margin in it.

<Style x:Key="MyCalendarButtonStyle" TargetType="calendar:CalendarButton">
   <Setter Property="materialControls:MaterialAssist.CornerRadius" Value="0"/>
   <Setter Property="materialControls:MaterialAssist.MouseOverBrush" Value="{telerik:FluentResource ResourceKey=MouseOverBrush}"/>

                  <Setter TargetName="Content" Property="FontWeight" Value="SemiBold"/>

                  <Setter TargetName="BorderVisual" Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
               </Trigger>
            </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
         </ControlTemplate>
      </Setter.Value>
   </Setter>
</Style>

Then create a style a RadCalendar style that uses this CalendarButton style.

<Style x:Key="MyCalendarStyle" TargetType="telerik:RadCalendar" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type telerik:RadCalendar}}">
   <Setter Property="DayButtonStyle" Value="{StaticResource MyCalendarButtonStyle}"/>
   <Setter Property="MonthButtonStyle" Value="{StaticResource MyCalendarButtonStyle}"/>
   <Setter Property="YearButtonStyle" Value="{StaticResource MyCalendarButtonStyle}"/>
   <Setter Property="DecadeButtonStyle" Value="{StaticResource MyCalendarButtonStyle}"/>
</Style>

Then create a RadDatePicker style that uses this RadCalendar style.

<Style x:Key="MyDatePickerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadDatePicker}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type telerik:RadDatePicker}}">
   <Setter Property="CalendarStyle" Value="{StaticResource MyCalendarStyle}"/>
</Style>

Now you can apply this style to any date picker like this.

<telerik:RadDatePicker Style="{StaticResource MyDatePickerStyle}"/>

If you want this style to be applied to all RadDatePickers in scope, you can add an implicit style.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadDatePicker}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MyDatePickerStyle}"/>

This is a screenshot of the resulting calendar.
