Mosquitos are one of the most prolific pollinators

Human bitting mosquitos are not pollinators.

But are we capable of only wiping out the human biting mosquitos without affecting other mosquitos, or even other insects?

Same way we get boll weavils.

Sterilize a ton of mosquitoes, release them into the wild, and have them compete against fertile ones. Over time, the population decreases.
