Append (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation or

Merge (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

but the final product should be a featureclass in a file geodatabase unless you have some need for a shapefile

Right-click on the tool in ArcToolbox and select "batch"

but I dont have the time as a parametrer in my txt file so if I merge them together it will delete one of them .the shapefiles have the time written in their name .Also how to automate this process .FYI : I have a 3 hour timestep over a simulation time of 30 days.
