I agree, at least in part. Several of your balances are too low to worry about. If you lose a few hundred or even a few thousand points, it's no great problem. Likewise, such low balances are not worth straining to preserve.
Consider that you'll generally need 25k for the cheapest award seat in the US.... Though some airlines do sell one-ways for half that, and a few airlines (notably BA) do price award seats based on distance flown, allowing you to redeem some short-haul domestic flights for under 10k. Tiny balances are often not worth anything, and unless you have a plan for how to increase them to at least the 25k level they may not be worth the effort to preserve.
As plan travel in the future, try to focus your points earning into fewer points programs. Learn how alliances work and use them to your advantage, crediting flights on alliance partners into
one program instead of splitting them across several.
