These aren't "log files" in the sense of text logs designed for the administrator to use. They're part of the critical function of the database and they're what permits Pg to support transactional rollback, safe crash recovery, point-in-time recovery, and lots more. Deleting them or moving them is just as bad for your database as deleting or moving the files that store tables. It's a really, really bad idea.
