That is something I've seen a few times in my kitchen rehabs. They are placed on there for peace of mind that when you shut the door (maybe too hard) that the metal screw won't crack or break any glassware that may be sitting to close to the edge. In my opinion they are not necessary, especially if the new pulls/handles are installed properly. Just tear off the cotton balls (I've seen some with felt glued over them) and put on your new ones.
