I don't understand their significance to Carl. What does a lack of pigment have to do with anything? Is it because the bird he found when he was a kid white? Or is it supposed to be symbolic somehow?

Purity and Innocence. The girls he abducted were all white and somewhat pale, but he used bleach to turn their skin and hair almost completely white. It was essentially a sign that the evil dude had not completely taken over, that the innocent kid still existed somewhere.
