The small, parenthesized note-head is put out by the TrillSpanner.

You can observe it applying displayMusic:

\displayMusic
\relative c''
{
  \pitchedTrill
  d2\startTrillSpan fis
  d\stopTrillSpan
}

Or look at this coding, giving the _TrillSpanner_ a pitch results in
printing the small note-head.

{
  \textLengthOn

  <>^"simple TrillSpanner"
  d''2\startTrillSpan d''\stopTrillSpan

  <>^"TrillSpanner with pitch"
  d''2-\withMusicProperty #'pitch ##{ fis'' #} \startTrillSpan
  d''\stopTrillSpan
}

So you need to override TrillSpanner, leading to:

\relative c''
{
  \override TrillSpanner.style = #'none
  \pitchedTrill
  d2\startTrillSpan fis
  d\stopTrillSpan
}
