grep doesn't do filtering like that, you can pipe it into sed.
Code:
$ echo "datarecords.txt: male | datarecords.txt: male | datarecords.txt: female" | sed 's/^[^:]*: /:/;s/|[^:]*: /| :/g'
:male | :male | :female
$

So add that to the end of your pipe chain.

I'm not sure why you have / in grep's commandline there, I suspect it serves no purpose.

but i mean there is no grep -ie Type / datarecords.txt
for example to prevent getting the filename Smilie Smilie

same output but easy command
Hope this also gives the same output which is easier to understand,

Code:
echo "datarecords.txt: male | datarecords.txt: male | datarecords.txt: female" | sed 's/datarecords.txt//g'
