I agree one should not go hunting in various places for docs. Though it's not under coreutils remit to merge the various docs under our control. I don't think it's appropriate to merge all the info docs after the initial man page summary for example. Such consolidation is best handled at a higher level, like done in yelp or the KDE help center, though I agree that these could be improved a great deal. thanks, Pádraig.
