Using the batchmode command at the top of the file helps getting rid of some lines, but I'm still left with a few lines, for example:

(/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/t1enc.def))
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/babel.sty
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/english.ldf

and so on.
I am unable to find a way to clear up my command line so that any warnings or lines that get printed to tell me something more useful don't just get lost in the sea of LaTeX output.

Any ideas?

You can start batchmode earlier by specifying it on the commandline

pdflatex -interaction=batchmode myfile.tex

Or if you don't even want

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013)
 restricted write18 enabled.
entering extended mode

You could use

pdflatex myfile > /dev/null

or whatever null output stream is applicable to your operating system.

  Unfortunately I don't think I'm able to use that command, since pdflatex is being called by another program. The line in the makefile that uses pdflatex does not allow these options to used.

When redirecting to /dev/null is a good solution for you, you might consider using grep to suppress "almost everything". I use this (with GNU grep 3.1) to find out whether another run of latex is needed (feel free to extend):

egrep "Rerun to get cross-references right|
There were undefined references|
Citation .* on page .* undefined on input"

I know this type of matching is dangerous (future versions, localization, etc.), but it works ;-)
