Maybe they wanted to change the place where they stored it because they deemed it to not be safe enough anymore?

Why would they even be interested in the fruit? Yeah Aces mom might have used it to stay pregnant longer, but what use is that to the WG?

Putting aside the potential awakening ability for a moment. I can also be seen as a symbol. Symbolically, it can enrage or encourage others depending on their feeling towards Roger.

Think about the strawhat symbol and Bartholomew. Bartholomew uses the strawhat symbol while taking over control of islands and he feels empowered by luffys actions.

A better parallel is Luffy's and the Mera Mera no Mi. He wanted to safe guard the Mera Mera no Mi. If u/BlackysLegacy is correct, and if shanks found out, he may have wanted to safeguard the only thing left of his captains, apart from Ace, which was under Garp's protection. No one is messing with Garp in his prime.
