The bookmarks are not a particular problem you need to remove and certainly if there are any cross-references in the document, removing bookmarks could be causing lots of broken cross-references.

You can HIDE the bookmark indicator so they become invisible by going to Tools > Options > Advanced > Show Document Content > Show Bookmarks and unchecking the box.

You can delete all bookmarks by running a macro such as
Code:
Sub KillBookmarks()
  Do While ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count > 0
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(1).Delete
  Loop
End Sub
Agree with you, and personally didn't like to delete the bookmarks. I need to import the .docx into a CAT Tool (translation software), so I guessed, it's better to remove those bookmarks and thought they would be some causes in the CAT Tool by their formatting tags or anything else.
Hide/Show is a good idea for hiding bookmarks while we need them, but we don't like they appear on my docs. Thank you!
