This is the way that org-mode works. If you'd like to release/kill your
org-mode buffers, simply type "x" in the agenda.

Might I ask why you want to kill the org buffers once they have been
opened? It is a relatively expensive operation to open and parse all the
org files the first time the agenda is generated. However, once the org
files (and all the properties added by org-mode) are loaded into memory,
agenda creation is much quicker. 

Best,
