If you have access to the Kubernetes Dashboard, you can access logs for deleted/completed pods in the desired namespace.

Looks like the container is removed (docker rm) once the kubectl delete of the pod is done and the log files are gone. One way I can think of is using fluentd or something similar for log aggregation.

Containers together with its logs get deleted when you issue a kubectl delete pod <pod-name>. You can use something like Fluentd or logspout to pipe your logs to say an ELK or an EFK stack.
