destructuring assignment примерно так:
oldArray.map(({prop1, prop2} => ({prop1, prop2}))
const oldArray = [
{a: "A1", b: "BB1", prop1: "wanted1", prop2: "dead or alive1", z: "zee1"},
{a: "A2", b: "BB2", prop1: "wanted2", prop2: "dead or alive2", z: "zee2"},
{a: "A3", b: "BB3", prop1: "wanted3", prop2: "dead or alive3", z: "zee3"},
{a: "A4", b: "BB4", prop1: "wanted4", prop2: "dead or alive4", z: "zee4"},
{a: "A5", b: "BB5", prop1: "wanted5", prop2: "dead or alive5", z: "zee5"},
];
const newArray = oldArray.map(({prop1, prop2}) => ({prop1, prop2}));
// [
// {"prop1": "wanted1", "prop2": "dead or alive1"},
// {"prop1": "wanted2", "prop2": "dead or alive2"},
// {"prop1": "wanted3", "prop2": "dead or alive3"},
// {"prop1": "wanted4", "prop2": "dead or alive4"},
// {"prop1": "wanted5", "prop2": "dead or alive5"}
// ]
