I agree that this would be helpful.
I have experimented with taking lists that I have already created elsewhere and pasting them into columns (In libre office calc) and then select column, find and replace with find set to .* and replace set to [[& then replace all. Then I do the same with replace set to &]]. Then I copy and paste the unformatted text into a new note. If this could somehow automatically create all of those .md files that would be sweet.
