By "including" those libraries is BRMS just printing them out as items of interest, or is it actually restoring them?
Maybe you should open a ticket.
Would it help to change the dates to only go back to your last full system save?

*OMITLIB set to *DELETE.
*DELETE
Exclude deleted libraries from the recovery. Please note that only
libraries deleted before the last run of Start Maintenance for BRM
(STRMNTBRM) will be omitted.
It "appears" that *DELETE is not WAD.
STRMNTBRM is run daily on all LPARS.

Did you read the help on *OMITLIB?
If so, how often do you run STRMNTBRM?
On one of my systems:
WRKJOBSCDE BRM*

BRMRECOVER is a custom program which creates the BRMS recovery report and stores it as a PDF on three geographically dispersed servers.
The "weekly" entries run all 5 working days.

Subject: STRRCYBRM *SYSTEM *RESTORE - time period for recovery recommendations
When doing a STRRCYBRM *SYSTEM *RESTORE, what are the recommendations for Time period for recovery?
1) Let it default as below, *BEGIN *END?
2) Or should you reference your last system save?
3) Other options?
I found in testing that when you let it default, it includes libraries that are no longer on the system, from old saves that are not expired.
Start time and date:
Beginning time . . . . . . . . *AVAIL
Beginning date . . . . . . . . *BEGIN
End time and date:
Ending time . . . . . . . . . *AVAIL
Ending date . . . . . . . . . *END
Thank You
