Why does it seem unfair? You paid less in taxes than you would have otherwise because you had dependents to claim. If your son had received the rebate, it would have been a double bonus of sorts for your family.
We gave our son the $ he would have received had we not claimed him. We saved on our taxes, PLUS we get the rebate, too. Perhaps you can do the same and then it won't be unfair for your boys.
