If the Babylonians castrated all the exiled Jews, there would be few Jews to return to Jerusalem after a period of around 60 years. While the Jews were certainly exiled, most of them were not kept in slavery. The main reason to castrate would be to keep slaves in harems, and Jewish tradition does not really discuss whether Jews were employed in Babylonian harems. There are biblical suggestions that eunuchs may also have been employed in Judah during the late monarchy, but the wording is ambiguous and can not be relied on in that sense.
