I have two Cornelious kegs and a filtering system. Can I filter my beer from keg to keg like always, then bottle it with the priming sugar to carbonate ? Or will filtering remove to much yeast making it sweet from the unconverted sugars ?

The filter should remove the yeast from the beer. So, no yeast means no carbonation. Prime the kegs with sugar and wait 3 weeks. Then filter and bottle.
Yes, unless you use a beer gun of some sort and push the beer with CO2. A DIY beer gun is in the link.

But really, a filtering system is really only good for kegged beer and bottling off of a kegging system.

Depends on the filter size. A 5 micron filter will remove most of the visible stuff, but leave enough yeast for carbonating your beer. A 2 micron filter is iffy. You have to use a 0.5 micron filter to remove all of the yeast.
