You should not disturb core files, lets say even if you copy those files in footer and tomorrow wordpress releases another new version, and you update it. The files that you moved from /wp-includes/js/... will be back. In my opnion, try to minimize them. Although you be fine with wordpress core files, when optimizing your site and focus on optimizing html and css (and JS, if you made any)

have you found the file which enqueues those jquery files??

if found then set the last parameter of the wp_enqueue_script() function to true;

<?php wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer ); ?>

For more details refer to : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

i used this Plugin Minit. this plugin combine JS and CSS files and serve them from the uploads folder. Although this plugin is not listed on Wordpress Plugin Directory, dnt no why. But it works for me.
