Why get rid of them? Because Unix Vim can *edit* a dos-format file if
'fileformats' includes "dos" but it cannot *source* it. OTOH, Windows
Vim can both edit and source unix-format files, provided that
'fileformats' contains "unix".

The solution is to have :set ffs=dos,unix or :set ffs=unix,dos,mac *and*
to make sure that *.vim, vimrc and gvimrc files are saved with ff=unix
(at least when meant to be usable also by a Vim instance built for Unix
[including Linux and Cygwin] or Mac).

See
:help :source-crnl
:help 'fileformats'
:help 'fileformat'
:help ++opt

Best regards,
Tony.
