I'm happy to offer help here, but without knowing how you're syncing and what you're syncing with, I can only offer limited assistance.

Since I have more than 2,300 contacts it would be very time consuming to merge all of the duplicates manually.  How can I remove the duplicates without having to buy a specific duplicate removing software?  How can I avoid this problem from recurring?

See the xda forums for a thread on the problems with the inherent earlier version usb port that the S2 shipped with.  There are instructions on how to order a new port, and open and change your own with a fair amount of ease. Fwiw: My S2 used to sync with Companionlink, but the port has gone so bad that the PC doesnt even see it anymore .. and the S2 believes its connected to the PC when not connected.  I'm waiting on a $15 port in the mail myself.
