You already have this button.  It's called "maximize".

Try it. In KDE, maximize a window, then grab the title bar, and move the 
window around. Resize it. No problem. Close it. Open it again. It's right 
where you left it. You can't do this with a maximized window in Windows.

You do. You just don't have them all at once. The titlebar buttons have 
commonly used functions, and less commonly used ones are accessible via the 
RMB menu.   As to which buttons are present (and where), that's configurable 
by you. IMHO, KDE already does it exactly right. I wouldn't suggest changing 
it any more than I would put every menu item on a toolbar.

There's so much to say but your eyes keep interrupting me.
