My eventual goal here is to use every single line of the screen for

I presume you've already turned off 'laststatus'.

  :help 'laststatus'

I already turn off window-chrome on my xterm/rxvt windows using Fluxbox to gain one extra line, and my gvim (mostly on Win32, as I don't really use gvim on Linux) doesn't display a menu or toolbar. I don't know of any way to hide the command-line right-out (or how deep such assumptions run in the source), but in a terminal *window*, you can always push the edge of the terminal one-line's height off the bottom of your screen (it doesn't work for hard terminal consoles). You could then map colon/slash/question-mark to the corresponding command-line windows:

  :nnoremap : q:o
  :nnoremap / q/o
  :nnoremap ? q?o

It does change some strange things, since even things like quitting become ":qa" because you have two windows open (or you could use ZZ or ZQ to quit). But with a few caveats, it would allow you to still enter Ex commands without using/seeing the last-line of the screen.
