If you are using a Mac, and have your iCloud account set up on it, you can go to "System Preferences -> Network -> Wi-fi -> Advanced -> Wi-fi" and selectively delete those you don't want. As known Wi-fis are synced over your iCloud account, what you have here is reflected on any iOS units.

Of course, you can also borrow a Mac, set up a new user, sync your iCloud account, delete the Wi-fis you don't want as described above, and then delete the user on the Mac. But of course, thats a bit of a hazzle..

It also forgets all setup you've done with that network.

Personally I don't really see the issue with a huge list. Chances are you need to connect to your network once only, as it will always reconnect automatically in the future.
If you could remove Wi-fis from the original list, it would require a secondary list with the removed networks, in case you (or someone else) removed one by error or you suddenly DO want to connect to another of these Wi-fis, and you to go through all these Wi-fis one by one and hide them, which would be a huge waste of time in comparison to the one time connection described above.
