I have often wondered why useradd does not have built in support for
stuff like this. From time to time I'd like to do something like
"add a user, I do not care about the UID, but it has to be larger than
X (and, optionally, less than Y)".
Useradd has -r and groupadd has -r and -g options in Fedora/RHEL to do
similar things. check the man page for them for additional details. Does
that serve your purpose?
