All did, well, except for the first one? It does warrant some discussion whether the first "Reggie" (at park hunting female) is actually a Reggie or not, or whether he was defeated using the blue steel (which is a requirement for their DNA to fall apart), but otherwise all other Reggies defeated using excessive blue steel did fall apart into sand. If you think otherwise, please provide more precise examples so that I may dispel your confusion.
It must have been truly a horror for you to break the silence and come out on the forums. But the thing is, your implications are wrong. Both storylines, Keith and Gilbert, Koku and Yuna, are part of one compelling story, having their own philosophy and concepts. I can understand why Koku and Yuna's storyline was to be despised by many, even though their anger is misguided. But there was nothing wrong with it to not make it a part of larger plot, which is set and ended by Gilbert. The supernatural part of the series provide questions, origin of which is philosophical, and I am surprised no one did say "Oh look the DNA part is something like Assassin's Creed". While the Keith and Gilbert philosophy is "closer" to us, as in is found in our reality, the Koku and Yuna one is surrounding our species as a whole. Without Koku and Yuna, the series would not have been what it is. It would lose the existential dimension and become a mere rivalry between insanity and genius of human being. Which is great, but together they create something even greater. This series is the closest to achieving the rank Masterpiece (while not being a complete masterpiece YET because there is still another season, presumably) I have seen in the course of several years. Why is that, you might refuse to ask? Because it strives to be what True Art should.
