command+delete throws the file into trash
shift+command+delete is the short cut to empty trash
command+option+delete permanently deletes the file (bypasses the above)

If you want to use keyboard shortcut foe cut and paste, here is some:

click on your file, press command+c
then go to your folder of destination, press command+option+V
The file is now moved to the desired folder.
It's as simple as in Windows.

Before that you still need to cut the file, don't you?
If you think pressing an additional key is difficult, then I think you shouldn't consider Macbook at the first place.
You just can't compare an apple with an orange...

I am used to keyboard, I have no issue with this. Even when I just switched over to Mac years back, I struggled minimal.
I always use shortcut keys on keyboard when I'm using Windows, back in Windows 95 till the latest version Windows 10.
I can still able to proceed my task without a mouse.

I'd say, those who really know how to use a computer, would find shortcut keys on the keyboard superior than clicking using a mouse. No matter they are using Windows, or Mac. This is fundamental skill that a computer user should know.

The good thing in Mac is, you can customize your Mac. You can create functions which is not initially available in your original system, if you know how to do so (e.g. Hide/Unhide hidden files/folders toggle).
