I have quite a few org files in org-agenda-files. When a global agenda
view is displayed (the Global TODO, for instance) org-mode visits all
the files and keeps the buffer for each of them. I'll prefer this
behavior:
for each file in org-agenda-files
have we a buffer containing it?
no -> create a buffer and visit it
do our stuff (gather TODO items, etc)
if we were not visiting the file
kill the buffer that contains it.
Is there a reason for keeping all those buffers around?

I don't know if there is a reason, but pressing "x" in the agenda will close all
org buffers that were opened by the agenda. The files that you opened yourself
won't be closed.
Maybe the reason is that if you change anything in the agenda these org files
would have to be opened in order to be modified. Therefore it is better to keep
them opened.

The reason is that org makes links from the agenda to the files
using markers, and markers die when the buffer is closed.
What could be possible is throwing away all buffers that
have not produced an entry. However, I have worked with the
assumption that once you start the agenda you might run more
agenda commands, so keeping the buffers removes the overhead
of reopening many files again and again.
As Darlan has said, you can exit the agenda with "x" to get
rid of all buffers that where created to make the agenda
and have not been modified since making them.
