Description of my issue:

Hello,

I'm trying to cleanup and redirect few dynamic url's on my site but i have some problems.
When i try to redirect:

index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=6

to

mysite.com/menu-alias

i would get redirection like this:
mysite.com/menu-alias?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=6

Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

No, this is exactly how the URL redirection feature works. It keeps the query string parameters. Non-SEF to SEF URL conversion is not really supported by the URL redirection feature.
