Well my take 1 at a time:
 - Bake already adds pagination links doesn't it? Personally, I have 1
paginator element, it is included by all index/searches - rendering
the element can be put in the bake view template.
 - Column sorting is there by default with bake, just leave it in your
template.
 - Filtering, Looking forward to seeing a suggestion/contribution/
blogged solution. There are already solutions/suggestions out there (I
know I wrote one generic solution before)
 - Bake does that already for you
 - That's real easy for the developer to include either logic based or
otherwise. If it´s logic based put it in the bake view template
 - If you don't like the defaults, change your bake view templates. In
any event it's changing only the 'type' parameter for the method input/
inputs
 - I don' t see a benefit in making that configurable, likely to make
configuring bake a pain in the boo-tox.

I feel that with bake in it's current state, user created bake
templates should be possible and mean that almost exactly what you
want to achieve is achievable and sharable/reusable - such that you
can build a functional backend out of bake which requires minimal
tinkering to get what you want. It's on my personal "after I finish
what I'm doing" list to investigate exactly that.
