I know for some certainty why some key items are taken from you in a NG+, but why take the Armor/Weapon smithboxes and the Crest of Artorias?

There are no titanite pieces in the asylum and the Crest of Artorias only makes it easier for you to get through if you had it the first time (though I'd understand if it was because of the soul farming was easier there).
