Org-mode does remove all those buffers when you exit the agenda
with "x" instead of "q".   Then all buffers loaded for constructing  
the TODO list
will be removed. Buffers that were already present before the agenda
was constructed are not removed.  If buffers have been modified,
you will be asked if you want to save them.

Org-mode is not removing the buffers immediately after constructing
the list, because it assumes that while working with the list you  
will still
need them for lookup purposes.

If you insist on immediately getting rid of the buffers,
you can put something like this into the org-finalize-agenda-hook:

(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook
  (lambda ()
    (org-release-buffers org-agenda-new-buffers)
    (setq org-agenda-new-buffers nil)))
