Pippin:
Considering that they've already had one means of destroying horcruxes
snatched away from them, that Voldemort now knows that they are after
his horcruxes and may succeed in creating more,  and that they expect
Voldemort's forces will be able to drive them out of Hogwarts very
shortly, collecting the fangs from the chamber seems to me a good idea.

That they were carrying them in their arms suggests that they simply
hadn't had time to think of a way to transport them more safely. It's
likely they can't be Summoned, in which case dumping them into the
beaded bag would be a very bad idea. How would you carry them?

 In the event, they aren't needed (although they might be, in the
future. Some other dark wizard might decide to make a horcrux
someday.) But Hermione isn't to know that Crabbe will cast Fiendfyre,
or that Neville will be given access to the Sorting Hat, which as far
as Hermione knows must be sealed in the Headmaster's office. And the
reader is not supposed to guess either.

Pippin 
who thinks that the endings of all JKR's books are hard to follow. I
don't know how many times I had to read the end of PoA before it
started to make sense.
