Is there any special reason why you need this?

The div elements are usually used to customize your HTML with CSS. They
contain useful information, like "titlepage" in your above case.
For this reason, divs comes from a lot of templates and I don't think it
is really easy to remove them. I suppose you would need to customize
almost everything which is probably a rewrite of the complete
stylesheets.
However, if you need really such a simplified output, you could write a
XSLT stylesheet which reads in the input generated from the DocBook
stylesheets and outputs a simplified HTML version. Maybe this is a bit
easier. Make sure you use the XHTML version to be XML compliant.
I remember there was a similiar questions some time ago. Maybe search the
mailing list archive for additional answers.
