There are windows in Emacs. For example, evaluate
these:
(split-window-vertically)
(other-window 1)
And you can get properties as data from those, e.g.
with:
(window-height)
But, what you are talking about seems (?) to be the
windows of the window manager of your window system
(e.g., X) and/or desktop (e.g, GNOME, KDE). And those
windows can be resized from outside of Emacs, and from
within Emacs.

Indeed, you can use, as a CLI option
-fs, --fullscreen
Make the first frame fullscreen.
or, in Emacs:
(toggle-frame-fullscreen)
Perhaps what you look for is:
frame-pixel-height
Function: Return a FRAME's height in pixels.
frame-pixel-width
Function: Return FRAME's width in pixels.

I have no idea, but probably it is still easier to
configure this "back" to what you want in Emacs,
instead of messing with that. It is not like it is
a costly operation :)
