You don't have to use it for anything. Especially on KDE.
That's literally what a package manager does for you. Unless you're building everything from source, you'll never have to do this.
You basically described the Linux kernel. It's not "bloated", but it has more drivers built into it than Windows does. Even when you plug in a mouse on Windows it literally installs drivers. On Linux stuff just works.
While you don't have to use it, there is a very large possibility that once in a while you will be at a disadvantage if you don't use it.
Not at all. The terminal is just simply faster at many tasks.
