Sean's suggestion was helpful, although it took a long time to run. I eventually figured out that I could import into the ImageDataStore everything in all the subfolders, using the subfolder names as labels, and then delete out everything that matched the labels I did not want to retain.
Questions about using ImageDataStore and only some subfolders in a folder

These are related, so I will ask them both here:
1. Is it possible to specify which subfolders in a folder are to be used in an ImageDataStore? For example, if you have 5 subfolders but would like to use just 3 of the subfolders in your ImageDataStore, is that possible? I cannot tell from the ImageDataStore documentation.
2. Alternatively, is it possible to create an ImageDataStore and then add to it? If #1 is not possible then I can imagine a workaround in which I add to an ImageDataStore subfolder by subfolder.

Build files with dir. For example, all pngs at this level and below. Then strip out any you don't want or keep just the ones you do:
d = struct2table(dir(fullfile(pwd, '**','*.png')));
d = d(ismember(d.folder, folders_you_want), :);
files = fullfile(d.folder, d.name)

use filter on subfolder
dbpathSave={'mainfold\case*\Na',...
'mainfold\case*\Nb',...
'mainfold\case*\Nc',};
exts ={'.jpg'};
imds = imageDatastore( dbpathSave,'FileExtensions',exts,'IncludeSubfolders',0,'LabelSource' ,'foldernames');
