How can I restore deleted system cache in `/BuildRoot/Library/Caches`?
Let’s assume your Mac can boot and run Safari.
Go here, and download Sierra and reinstall on top - that drops a functioning system on top of your accounts, files, apps.

Assuming that didn’t work, we would need to understand the rsync command in detail and perhaps troubleshoot that, but since rsync comes with macOS - you likely have that from the system.
