Assuming you want to drop the argument (value) after --xcode-dir as well:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

args=("$@")
myargs=()
nextarg=-1

for ((i=0; i<$#; i++)) {
   if [ $nextarg == $i ]; then continue; fi
   case ${args[$i]} in
       --xcode-dir) nextarg=$((i+1)) ;;
       *) myargs+="${args[$i]} "
   esac
}

echo $myargs

./remove_xcode --xcode-dir foo --bar baz
--bar baz
