LilyPond won't merge crotchets and minims because it makes them look
the same. In your example, if a merge were allowed, your dotted minim
would look just like a dotted crotchet.

I assume you want the dotted note to remain a minim; if so, the trick
is to scale the duration of the crotchet so it appears to be a minim:

<< { \override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
    \override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t
      f2*1/2 f' f } \\ { f,2. } >>
