Unfortunately from code xml instruction also will be removed.

To tackle this you can try untagging like this:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if(myElements[i].markupTag.name=="ldinsert"){
var myNode = myElements[i];
for(var p = 0; p < myNode.xmlInstructions.length; p){
myNode.xmlInstructions[p].move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, myNode);
}
myNode.untag();
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Not sure if this would help, but you could try just removing the tag.

if(myElements[i].markupTag.name=="ldinsert")
{
  myElements[i].markupTag.remove();
}
