Oh nonsense!
Nothing was removed by King James.
He just had the Bible translated into English. There could be no concordance
until the translation was published. A concordance is simply a finding aid,
telling you where different words are found in the published book. There could
not BE a concordance before the book was published, and if the publication was
authorised by King James he could hardly have "removed" the concordance, whoch
could only be created after the book was published.
For what it's worth, the British and Foreign Bible Society, which was much
influenced by the Presbyterians, published the King James Bible with several
books missing. I think it was in their constitution that they should not
publish Bibles with the forbidden books (but that needs to be chacked). But
King James had nothing to do with it.
