Technically you could do that and you system would work fine, but the
sources.list.d is a very nice place for you and packages to drop
repositories and easily maintain them.  If you were to move their
contents into sources.list, then you would run the risk of having the
package put the repository back into the sources.list.d and causing you
to get a duplicate repository error.

That was most likely created when you upgraded your system.  It will 
contain a backup of how the file looked before upgrading to the new 
version of the OS.
