I believe that is a tie-down hook which is used during flatbed transport.
I'd leave them in case you ever need to put it on a trailer....
That I am almost 100% is for the Ship when it comes via oceanic transportation from Japan the first time, most towing companies tie up the car wheels into their beds ..

.... I've also seen carriers that used thick nylon straps on the suspension.

Never let someone use straps or chains to tie down your suspension.
So there's no need to have them, even while towing?
Do you mean "never let someone tie down your vehicle using the suspension" (don't use suspension to tie down vehicle) or "never let someone compress your suspension when using straps or chains to tie down a vehicle" (don't use frame to tie-down vehicle). It's not clear to me if you're trying to prevent damage to suspension pieces or saying people should not have the suspension compressed (tied down).Never let someone use straps or chains to tie down your suspension.
