You can do it (I think - but have not tried it) by changing H:3 to
H:5 or so:

,----
| (defcustom org-export-latex-low-levels 'itemize
|   "How to convert sections below the current level of sectioning.
| This is specified by the `org-export-headline-levels' option or the
| value of \"H:\" in Org's #+OPTION line.
`----

and then asking LaTeX to omit the numbering appropriately:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}

Adjust the 2 to taste.
