Is it possible to unify a column which has a date with another column which has the time into one DateTime column?

Yes, but depending on what you are doing that may not be optimal.  separate columns compress better and hence you data model sill be smaller and faster.

 

Just select both columns in Power Query, right click and then merge with a space separator.  Then convert to Date/Time

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
