There is no official tool to flatten .d.ts files or any other I'm aware of. There are many reported issues for your (or similar) problem:

• Conflict between Mocha and Jasmine typings.
• Error on $ in angular-protractor.d.ts

Angular team is working on the issue.

As a workaround, I would simply comment out ///<reference> comments that cause your errors and wait for a bugfix.
