OK, it seems you have to somehow "know" the magic hex identifier tacked onto
the profile name in order for the -p option to work (this means digging into
the profiles.xml file to find it). Arg...

Firefox does something simular: prefixes profile names with a unique id
string, BUT the firefox -P option does not expect the user to know this unique
id string, instead it using a matching process.

You can specify the profile from the command line when starting JMRI from a command line:

I know that I am probably one of the very few people who use the command line
(maybe the only person?), but it is just tiresome to have to manually go
through the File menu to load files (into PanelPro, CATS, etc.). What is
involved to make it possible to add CLI options to do this on the command
line? Also having to always deal with selecting the profile when starting
LccPro, etc. is also anoying -- is there a CLI option for that?

No, you can use the path to the profile directory if you don't have the profile ID. C.f. the quoted documentation.

If you still want the profile ID, you can get it from the messages emitted when you start JMRI:

[java] 13:07:24,492 apps.Apps INFO - Starting with profile Dispatch_Work_in_Progress.3f79267a [main]

Yes, this works, but I am thinking it *should* be possible for JMRI to figure
this out and allow a "simplified profile ID" on the command line. Firefox (for
example) manages to do this. So, it should be doable in JMRI. The GUI uses
the simplified profile ID, which would be the "obvious" thing to use on the
command line, but appearently not. Which is counter intutitive.
