You could use either --include=PATTERN or --include-from=FILE to limit
the files that rsync will consider. If you have more than 1 or 2 extensions,
puth them in a file and use the second version.

Use the --remove-source-files option.

Use rsync. The time spent learning the ins and outs of the tool (the
man page for rsync is priceless) will be much, much less than what you would
spend writing something to replace it.
