One more comparison. Why do we have the only one 'mknod' utility and
why don't we have separate 'bmknod' (for block devices) and 'cmknod'
(for character devices)?

Because mknod was first and did it all.

I personally don't.
Your proposal added confusion, if anything, because
it proposed a bundle-up for only a few of these
utilities.
