You can have it already in your customizations: set use-dialog-box to
nil.

Getting rid of dialog boxes entirely is out of the question, since
Emacs always prompts with a dialog box when some command was invoked
from the menu bar by clicking the mouse.  This is very old behavior,
and we cannot change it, not even for a single command.  Sorry.
