It would have been the perfect computer.

Hardware doesn't work that way. You can't just say add a bigger battery or add a this and a that without changing the way something was designed. It may lead to a worse battery life or worse performance. The new MacBooks have the fastest ssds by an order of magnitude which benefits people who use read/write heavy apps like photoshop and it also has the fastest implementation of usbc.
USB-A and SD Cards are notoriously show for data transfer. HDMI is yet another spec that can't do everything USB-C can and has worse perf.
Though difficult Apple absolutely did the right thing here as far as getting things down to one standard for everything (charging, display and data transfer). USB-C is vastly superior to all of the previous standards.
The MacBook Air when it originally came out started at $1799. So lets not.
