Your list consists of facilities located on realestate inside Southern boundaries. After secession, it was the view of the Southern government that the federal government no longer held interests there. It was not the desire of the South to inflict their will on the North and they had no desire to take anything possessed by the Union located north of the Mason-Dixon Line. They simply wanted to leave the Union.

How many of those were in the North?

I believe the Crown regarded Boston Harbor as belonging to the Union in 1775 if that helps your case.
