Is it possible to remove items from DigiKam's database without
deleting or moving the base files (on disk/SSD)?

In general no, this is not possible. digikam is a view onto the
file system, so if it's in the file system below a collection root
then it will be visible. However you can set names of directories
to be ignored.
