By design Master-Details relationship works that way, you cannot have Child records exist while you delete Master record in Master-Detail relationship model. You can try changing relationship from MD to Lookup so that you can have your Child records exist even after your Lookup records is deleted or try creating some stage object to store your Account information and create that record without having any relationship with Accont object.

In order to display your child records linked to your Parent Lookup Object, you have to link them first and pull your related list on to the page layout!
