Shouldn’t this be solved by now?

Until there is an officially supported command, an unofficial workaround could be to create the DB with --kind GlobalDocumentDB and then use az resource tag to create a tag called defaultExperience with value Table or Graph. I guess this may stop working at any time, but based on information described at https://blog.spectologic.com/2017/06/30/digging-into-cosmosdb-storage/ this seems to be the way how the Azure portal does it today.
