The elders of heaven who are honored to stand around the throne of God, take off their crowns and throw them... not gentle place them... at the feet of Jesus. Why?

Cause the only who should be wearing a crown is Jesus?

You are splitting hairs. Maybe Jesus is up above and the crowns must be thrown, maybe crown is symbolic for something and it isn't actually a crown. The point being that what we earned in this life should be put at the feet of our Savior.

Revelation 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Re 4:10
Cast their crowns before the throne. There are four elements in this worship: (1) They fall down; (2) they adore; (3) they cast their crowns before the throne, an act of homage which gives Him who sitteth there all the glory of their crowns; (4) they offer ascriptions of praise.
Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Re 4:11
That good pleasure of God which gave birth to creation, and constantly upholds it, awakens the liveliest gratitude in the hearts of his people, and will draw forth to him the most ardent ascriptions of glory and honor, thanksgiving and praise, for ever and ever.

Because the crowns given to them were also a gift from God and are not worthy of such.

its a symbol of surrender also the crowns we obtain show off what we did in this life and supposedly when we arrive before god we will find everything inconsequental and offer all we have aka the crowns to him
