I'm running the most recent kernel available, and I've never had a problem with any past kernels, so I don't believe there's any reason to keep all of them. I guess kernels get a fresh install instead of an upgrade? Can I safely rpm-e the old kernel packages?

Yes, this is safe (for kernels you don't run/need).
