Yes you should, t keep your system consistent. You should also heed the
messages about unread news items and updating config files as these can
also have a bearing on keeping your system running smoothly.

Read it again. It wants to remove some versions of those but not the
latest. When you install a new kernel or compiler, portage generally does
so in a separate slot, so you have access to both old and new versions.
If you are no longer using the old version, you should let it go.
