  fetch("theURL/api-token-auth/", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Accept: "application/json",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      email: "EMAIL",
      password: "PASSWORD"
    }
  })
    .then(res => {
      if (res.ok) {
        return res.json();
      } else {
        throw Error(res.statusText);
      }
    })
    .then(json => {
      this.setState({
        isLoaded: true,
        token: json

You are correctly using the method POST, so that's not an issue. However, the data you want to send should be in the body instead of in the headers. 

componentDidMount() {
  const email = "[email protected]";
  const password = "foobar";

  fetch("theURL/api-token-auth/", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Accept: "application/json",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      email,
      password
    })
  })
    .then(res => {
      if (res.ok) {
        return res.json();
      } else {
        throw Error(res.statusText);
      }
    })
    .then(json => {
      this.setState({
        isLoaded: true,
        token: json
      });
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
}
