Considering Aragorn had to actually convince the ghosts to fight in the Battle of Pelennor, there's no guarantee that they would have done what he wanted afterwards. Besides, they might have attacked him if he didn't keep his word to let them go.

Besides, it would have been cruel and unusual and ruined the "cool good guy" image Aragorn has if he betrayed the ghosts and didn't release them like he promised.
