You have already a version of kde installed 1.0.01-1. So if you try
to install another version (1.1) with rpm -i you will have conflict since
you're trying to install files onto existing files.
What you want is an upgrade with rpm -U

You should never delete files from a package with rm but with rpm -e <package>

base package needs lib package in order to install. So you can do:
rpm -ivh kdesupport.rpm
rpm -ivh kdelibs.rpm
rpm -ivh kdebase.rpm
rpm -ivh <other_packages_in_any_order>
Or you can also unchecked the dependencies with
rpm -ivh --nodeps kde*.rpm
