Please not yet another "I've switched from A to B and was shocked to discover that B does not work like A!" rant. You're simply executing working patterns from Windows and of course it does not work so well.
1. Cmd-Tab does not select windows, it selects apps. If the app is hidden (Cmd+H), it will be unhidden.
2. They are not such a frequent click targets. Also, that is not a maximize button.
I see what your problem with 1+2 is: you are using minimize function to reveal windows behind the current window like you did in Windows. Well... don't. There are other ways to do it (Mission Control, Dock, hide), you are not supposed to use minimize so often.
3. Seriously? It's only an issue if you're seeing Mac the first time in your life.
4. Because there is no maximize function.
5. Keyboard-only never was a design goal.
6. Alt+Cmd+I. Learn about significance of Alt button, you'll discover a lot of functions that you think are missing.
7. Because Enter renames the item.
8. The blue button. (Apple has recently broken that in some dialogs in 10.11 and hasn't fixed yet.)
9. Finder does not allow to cut&paste files, yes. Of all your list, this is the only valid critic, which does not stem from mis-using the thing.
Trust me as Mac user, we are not suffering, and when rebooting to Windows to play PC-only game, we do not feel any improvement (to put it mildly). What you think is "the most intuitive way to do it" is actually just "the most familiar to me way to do it".
