Option Proposal: Set new mesh to be added as smooth shaded as default shading
best location would be Preferences > Editing > Objects > New Objects
only the words "Flat" and "Smooth" could be aligned better, but would be less precise, but having the option would be cool, no matter how it looks exactly in the end :)

Shade Smooth on anything other than spheres is useless without also activating Auto Smooth and setting Auto Smooth Angle.
I would prefer if the shade smooth command had an Adjust Last Operator panel that contained the autosmooth checkbox and Auto Smooth Angle value.
You'd shade smooth and check that once and then all future times you use shade smooth it would apply the last used settings to latest object.
