No, I'd take them out, & save on parts. Classic case of designer following data sheet reference circuit without understanding how the device works. I've spent many happy hours auditing designs for manufacture removing unnecessary parts and rationalising the BOM (worst case I ever saw was 14 different values for pull-up resistors replaced with 1 value, massive savings on a production run of 10000 units!)
BTW, if reverse input not possible by design you can remove D3 and associated resistor.
