Get rid of them. Basically, the buyer is going to be wondering how hard is it to get rid of them. If it is an elderly couple they would have to pay someone.
It depends on your area, really. You say that such kinds of things that might be considered odd elsewhere are common in your area, and so I'd say leave them, as for someone moving into that kind of area, they could very well be a plus. Especially since they are so easily dismantled if the buyer doesn't like them.
I would CAREFULLY dismantle them. Don't interrupt the Ki. Many places use them to direct the flow of harmony, especially around an energy vortex. But these things are not well understood in the western world, and even less appreciated for the powers which they hold.
The rest of your post is right on track, but this part is just silly.
They would not bother me, but it's possible that they might bother someone.
There isn't anyone who will refuse to buy because you don't have cairn stones, but there might be someone who refuses to buy because they don't want them, or don't understand them, or don't want the work of removing them.
Balance the options out, it is slightly better to remove them.
If you like them, box them up and rebuild them at your new residence.
My son built them on a whim after returning from a long trip to Asia. They have no basis for protection that I can imagine.
I would take them down. If it was just your son who built them, then they really have no historical significance, and they could turn some people off. Other people may be delighted by them, up until they hear that they were just made by your son in the not so distant past.
EDIT: Additionally, they look like they could be easily toppled, which may turn off buyers who have young children at home.

That occurred to me as well. The large one on the lawn in particular. The lowest rocks are VERY heavy. All it would take to "get rid of" the other ones is to just push them over. The rocks to build them all came from within about a 5 foot radius. They will then return to the earth as a reminder of our insignificance in the face of eternal change.

That is exactly why they should be taken down. Many people, including apparently you, don't understand the significance of them.
Ever see the prayer flags they put up in Nepal, and up the Mountain toward the top of Everest? To you they are just rags. To the people who put them there they are very significant, and the placers would never think about setting foot on the mountain without them.
No sense pizzing off the gods if you can otherwise be gentle with their gift.
You go to church on Sunday? And pray to a stupid wood cross on the alter?

The significance of them is that the OP's son built them on a whim after he came home from a trip to Asia. In this case, I don't think they have quite the meaning you think they have.
