Obviously this technique isn't worth the trouble for fewer shapes where you'd probably be quicker using the boolean operations as they stand.

Then Select and Delete the parts you don't want, and do Path > Union on those you want to become a single shape.

Fill all the shapes temporarily so you can select them easily.

Draw a rectangle that is larger than the shapes, lower it to the bottom, then select both the combined.

Probably easier to make sure they are all just a stroke and no fill at this stage so you can see what's going on. So, let's say you have a bunch of overlapping shapes from which you want to create a design.

There's no Shape Builder tool equivalent in Inkscape, however there is one method to work round the difficulty of making new shapes from complex overlapping shapes.
