Are you sure they’re all really PNG files? It sounds like they’re not, if Preview isn’t opening them. This warning should only show up for files with content that’s executable in some sense. Quarantining isn’t asinine and this kind of scenario is one of the reasons for it — you download something that appears to be innocuous but isn’t.
